Community & Medical Volunteering Projects

"For me it really was a great experience. I loved everything about it! The Spanish school was super flexible and everyone was super helpful. The work with the dog shelter was also a lot of fun! I can only recommend this project and Cusco of course, which is an amazing place to start your travels!"

It can sometimes be easy to overlook the importance of community.  Sometimes it’s an element that goes unnoticed, operating silently in every part of the globe to ensure that people everywhere are supported by strong bonds and close connections.  The ideals that are integral to an appreciation of community are the same that drive conservation efforts.   This includes the belief that all life on our planet is interdependent and that the best way to see a prosperous and healthy future is in working together – across and within communities and between nature and humanity.

All of our community and medical volunteering projects in this respect are geared towards community development and upliftment; in cross-cultural experiences that help both communities and individuals to grow.  Our focus is particularly on a foundation of health and sustainability as key elements for a thriving global community.  We also aim to bring attention to women’s empowerment and education, specifically on conservationism and the value of ecology.

Our Projects with Community & Medical

Main Areas of Work

Main Areas of Work

There are a number of different ways you can help make your mark and be involved on a community level across the globe.  Global health is always important, and our medical volunteering projects aim to provide support to those communities that are in dire need of assistance.  You can participate in primary healthcare treatments and emergency referrals; if you choose to do some medical volunteering in Namibia. You can be on the frontline of providing basic first aid and medical education in Nepal or you can assist in the various medical volunteering projects in the Maldives.

On a community level, you can volunteer with local farmers in Nepal who rely on their land and traditional agricultural methods to sustain themselves and their families.

Primary Concerns

Primary Concerns

It would be difficult to disagree that often at the root of many of our community and environmental concerns is a lack of education.  This is why throughout all the projects, alongside hands-on support, is a focus on learning about health, sustainability and the environment.

There is also though, an emphasis on cultural appreciation and spirit.  In Nepal, volunteers live with the families in rural areas and really get to be a part of their daily lives and communities.
