  3. My name is John Miana Jr, a Sierra Leonean living in Sweden. I am the founder and Executive Director of a local non governmental organisation called Aid Train Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is founded in the south-west coast of West Africa on the Atlantic Ocean with Freetown as its capital city. Sierra Leone has a population of about seven million people. The nation has suffered eleven years of brutal civil war from 1991 to 2002, Ebola outbreak in 2014, mudslide in 2017 and the COVID 19 pandemic. Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world with many people living on less than one dollar a day. Aid Train Sierra Leone a registered local non governmental organisation was founded in 2010 to meet the needs of youth women and children in poor rural communities, in the area of Education, Agriculture, health and Enterprise development around the southern province of Sierra Leone. We made tremendous effort in conducting needs assessment survey to determine the most pressing problems in and around the identified communities of Bo North East and Pujehun district around the southern province of Sierra Leone.( There is a written report on the needs assessment survey with pictures and videos of all the activities for your perusal)
    Due to lack of funds and capacity, Aid Train Sierra Leone regretfully cannot implement the intended programs and projects to help these poor communities. We have lost our office space due to lack of funds for office rental. Aid Train Sierra Leone wants to invite volunteers that are interested in working in Sierra Leone and has the ability to organise and help us develop, and to not only help Aid Train Sierra Leone to service these communities but will need your professional presence and inputs in helping Aid Train Sierra Leone in fund raising activities and in the implementation of Aid Train programs and projects. The deplorable economic situation in the Sierra Leone and the COVID 19 has exacerbated the suffering of our people.
    Aid Train Sierra Leone urgently needs partnership/s, volunteers, funds and staff capacity building to implement the most needed programs and projects. We are currently working on creating website for the organisation.
    Aid Train Sierra Leone wish to invite you to Sierra Leone on a needs assessment tour and to get to meet Aid Train staff for a potential partnership/ volunteer work.
    Hope to hear from individual/s and or organisation/s in joining Aid Train Sierra Leone and to help build the capacity of the organisation and develop effective strategy in the implementation of programs and projects. We are looking forward to hearing from interested volunteers or partners who can either be permanent members of the organisation or major partner/s in development work here in Sierra Leone.
    Please come and help us grow and be of blessing to our poor communities especially the rural poor.
    Thanks in advance for your action

  10. Hello world,

    It’s nice to have a very good platform like Trutravellers.org to help us connect easily.Perhaps we all have the same objective which is to bring some change in our communities .

    My name is THOMAS CHISALE from Malawi Africa..Am studying towards attaining a Degree in applied accounting at the Malawi College of Accountancy. I am passionate in volunteerisms and am setting up a small foundation in my country,a project that will empower the youth. I have a lot of connections with the small organizations that are doing a lot to help in changing our communities.Most of these are lacking this opportunity to connect with people from all over around the world to volunteer.

    I act as someone who can help these people get connected to the world..I would love if we can take an advantage of this platform to bring the change that we have ever wanted……

    You don’t need to pay to volunteer to come to Malawi…We can help you with all the connections that you want for free volunteering programs.

  11. Hello,
    Its been great reading the comments posted by volunteers and those that they have served. We are an organization that is in need of volunteers with various skills and expertise in the fields of Education, Counselling, Micro-finance, Environment, Fund raising etc

    Over the past 10 years of implementing our project we have come to realize that Should nothing be done to equip teen mothers and young widows with necessary life skills and economic tools requisite to support themselves and their children; the society should ready itself to face a storm of street children and crime, an up-tide in prostitution and related health implications; a clear propagation of the unfortunate cycle of human suffering.
    Odollo Self Help Group is a project that implements FREE life Skills and vocational training programs in micro-entrepreneurship, and various skills in crafts for 200 disadvantaged and venerable teenage mother and vulnerable women in Kisumu County Slums, Kisumu City in Kenya…

    Should anyone want to volunteer with us to make a difference.

    We are a community based organization based in Northern Kenya named Lchokuti Foundation. We are offering volunteering opportunities with school children, non-school going children, as well as morans and others. The foundation has various programmes consisting of an “Informal Education/Advisory Programme”, a “School Programme”, a “Business Programme” and a “Community Building Projects Programme”. The first involves health, life skills, literacy etc. advise, whereas the second is based at New Dawn Primary School which has a huge lack of teachers, classrooms and resources. It also addresses issues like parents’ ignorance and tries to bring those who are in the bush looking after goats back to school.
    This is one of the few volunteering opportunities based in Northern Kenya where cultural beliefs and practices are still very much alive, within pastoral communities (Rendille), and you will get to live within, experience and see people wearing a lot of beadwork all around the clock. On top, the project is located just around a Game Reserve with lots of animals like lions, elephants, antelopes etc.

  62. Hello! Iam a co-ordinator at pastoralist resource initiative development agency-PRIDA, a nonprofit,nonsectarian,volunteer driven, and a grassroot community based organisation striving to improve the quality of life of the underpriviledged and remotely located agropastoral communities in saku constituency of kenya. The organisation was founded in the year 2002 by the local elites who felt compelled by myriads of challenges facing the villagers. Since inception, we’ve been ambitiously involved in thematic programs such as; community mobilization and awareness building,households data collection,community engagement and training on topical issues,advocating/amplifying the voices of the disadvantaged,and addressing the community’s critical concerns through seeking partnerships for development. However,despite community rapport and our selfless teamwork, we’ve incapacitated to effectively deliver due to lack of crucial equipments and financial hurdles subjecting the organisation to perennial online invisibility. Iam humbly appealing to welwishers and for holistic intervention in website development, donation of laptops, digital camera and a motorcycle to enable us access hard-to reach villages and for partnerships in addressing community priority projects. Look foward to hear from you for longterm cooperation. Thanks for continued humanitarian services. For more information, kindly dont hesitate to reach me at alihuqaroba@yahoo.com

    Hope Development Volunteers is running a skills, talents, culture and hospitality exchange program – In return for your volunteer help; Our African hosts offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about their lifestyles.

    All our programs involve volunteering with local families around Africa in exchange for free meals and accommodation. This is a fact that money shouldn’t stand in your way and stop you from travelling and giving back to the communities in need.

    This is a great opportunity for long-and short-term budget travelers. Many families are willing to host volunteers for a few weeks or even a few days. It does mean spending part of your vacation working, but if you’re interested in cultural travel and language exchange, traveling doesn’t get much more local than literally living with a local family and sharing in their daily activities.

    We connect people who want to volunteer in Africa with people who are looking for volunteer help.

  74. My name is Dr. Isa Byona. I am a medical doctor with a passion for community developments on the grass root level. I am the Executive Director General and co-founder for Africa Sustainable Tourism Care Foundation (ASTCF) is a local Uganda based non-profit tourism organization established with diverse and holistic approach to promote innovative sustainable tourism practices that are geared to reduce poverty, empower local communities, fight gender inequality, encourage conservation of cultural and natural heritage and foster sustainable development through tourism.

    We are focused on developing responsible tourism in partnership with poorer rural communities, in order to sustain village life and culture, improve livelihoods, empowers rural women and youth with skills training, connects them to global market opportunities, and enables them to earn an income to transform their communities in remote rural areas and reduce the need for outward migration.

    I would like to introduce to you our volunteer program where we facilitate all kinds of group or solo volunteering options in the areas of community development, building, community capacity building, environmental management, eco – village development, teaching, sports, healthcare and wildlife conservation and so much more.
    Our Volunteer program is a unique program that offers many possibilities of volunteer service for men and women who wish to devote a few weeks or up to two years of their lives to international volunteer work. We provide an integrated development experience consisting of practical leadership opportunities, International Internships and participation in a global learning environment. We aim to put our volunteer’s skills to use in supporting the development initiatives of local communities in Uganda. Working with this program means opting for an enriching and dynamic experience that will change the course of your life
    We focus on local grassroots projects, cultural immersion and travel learning opportunities, and offer memorable experiences to our international volunteers, with purpose to:
    • Improve the lives of deprived people in less-fortunate communities (often rural, poor and economically marginalized) by connecting volunteers to grassroots projects, to enhance learning opportunities for positive transformation;
    • Offer unique opportunities for cultural immersion through well designed language and cultural program, and amazing travel adventure to our volunteers, for memorable experience.
    Our volunteer placement program fosters a Cross Cultural Program with the aim of developing of understanding and mutual respect between communities and nations by promoting the exchange of ideas and experiences. We focus to work towards human justice and peace through support of cultural, socio-economic and the preservation and conservation of natural ecosystems. We believe in working through development education and intercultural learning and practical interventions through international voluntary service.

    The work our volunteers do in these projects compliments and increases the capacity of the projects’ impact in the community, and we seek in all we do to ensure the work is sustainable in its’ own right and not reliant on overseas volunteers. The time you spend with each project provides a huge bonus to their work. You are not taking any opportunities away from local people; this is not job substitution, but the provision of additional support, knowledge, insight and energy to worthwhile local projects. This is important to us, and ultimately means you can have confidence in knowing that when you give your time to our projects, you will be contributing to a work that will last for years to come.

    Please take a look at our website http://www.africasustainabletourism.org It tells you more about us and the volunteers opportunities we have. Thank you so much. I look forward to hear from you soon.

  78. My family and I are searching to volunteer where help is needed, can be for animal welfare, building communities, society / people help or medical help. However, we can’t afford the expensives of travelling nor pretty much anything else. Searching on all volunteering web sites, we’re told that some organizations will pay for flights, but I haven’t found any opportunities like this anywhere. Please advise where we can help and get our expenses for travel / lodging / food paid. Thank you.

    • Hi Mathieu,
      It is very difficult to find an organization that will pay for flights for volunteers. I don’t know of any of these opportunities, and I’d suspect they don’t exist. Organizations just don’t have the budget to pay for that.

  87. Hi, I just wanted to say I’m a little concerned that your site isn’t staying up to date with the groups it is recommending. For example, culture waves appears to be a group teaching IT to women, NOT educating them about aids as it says on this site. Africa Hope Fund says little to nothing about its elephants or its volunteers, despite the fact that your site suggests that volunteering and helping elephants are two of its main activities. Perhaps your info is all correct and their websites need updating, or maybe it’s the other way around, but overall it gives an impression that your word on these groups is not totally trustworthy. Which is something I would think you would want to avoid, since true travellers is supposed to offer a trusted source of info for would-be volunteers.

    • Hi Franny,

      Fair concerns and comment. We try to stay on top of our list of opportunities but, as you can imagine, each organization is always evolving. Their sites will be updated with their own information before ours is. So, it wall always be our site that needs updating and their information will be more relevant as it pertains to them.

      Our goal is to connect you to organizations and then you can do your own research. The link to the organization is the most important part of the information that we share.

      Thanks for the update on Culture Waves as we rely on individuals to help us keep the site up to date. As for the Africa Hope Fund here are two links: http://africahopefund.org/index.php/projects-ahf/the-elephant-orphanage and http://africahopefund.org/index.php/about/our-volunteers Doesn’t look like they’ve had many volunteers (according to their site) but they have had some in the past.

      Best of luck on your search!

  88. I do work with BID UGANDA a community based organization that supports volunerable children we even have a home for these children. we do invite volunteers to come and work with us and maybe can have time with the children because it rely means alot to them after meeting new faces.

  89. Hi,

    We are a non-profit that partners with a small orphanage in Tanzania and helps families in the surrounding community. We achieve our mission through the operation of three cooperative programs: partnering with the locally run Nkoaranga Orphanage, creating our Children’s Village to house and care for these children after they age out of the orphanage at age 5, and running a community outreach arm to keep children in biological families or reunite them whenever possible.

    We are always seeking hardworking, responsible volunteers who love kids. The costs are very low and only cover the volunteer’s stay and a small donation to current projects, no profit is made and nothing goes on administration.

  90. Warm greetings from Uganda.

    How are you today? Please allow me to briefly introduce myself and the organization for which I volunteer. My name is Matthew Kim, and I am currently here in Kumi District from the US. I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Pallisa Children’s Concern Project (PCCP) located in Budaka District. The PCCP is a registered community-based organization working with orphans and other vulnerable children at the grassroots level in eastern Uganda. At the moment, there are over 350 children benefactors.

    The reason s I have contacted you today is to see if you and your organization would be able to help us;
    1.We have had several friends in Canada who are sympathetic with the kind of work we are doing. They would have liked to sponsor individual children in our organization but they have no way to do that. They would be comfortable to pass through a Northern partner through whom this sponsorship can reach us.
    We would therefore like to make an enquiry from you whether you can possibly agree to act as our Northern partner.
    2. The PCCP is in need of volunteers to help with every aspect of maintaining the project, including but not limited to organizational management, student counseling, and teaching. I understand from your website that this email is for inquiring about getting involved on the other side of things, but would you be able to help?
    We shall be very grateful if our requests are favorably granted.
    Sincerely
    Respectfully,
    Matthew Kim
