We charge our guests SLL 2,000,000 (USD 505) per month to upkeep the place. We make our volunteers’ safety and comfort our priority, which is why our housekeeper cooks breakfast and dinner and does the laundry, besides making sure the WYCF Home is always in perfect conditions – all included in the accommodation fee.
Renting the WYCF Home to volunteers not only helps us to upkeep the place but, more importantly, is also a source of revenue to support our projects. The surplus above the costs of maintaining the house will go into the bank account and then will be re-invested directly into the schools for teacher’s salaries, school supplies, school maintenance, community development projects, etc.

About Program

Help our teachers deliver 1-to-1 or small-group support to children with particular needs. This includes children with lower standards of literacy than their peers, learning disabilities or disruptive behaviour.

Work as a teacher’s assistant during term time. Take responsibility for art, theatre, story-telling and creative writing classes during Summer School.

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
