GIVE INTERNATIONAL is committed to sending trained volunteers to assist with our education, health, and child development programs in East Africa. Through volunteering in our projects, you will be able to see how we work alongside existing organizations in order to ensure that the needs of the local community are adequately addressed. For more details on how you will be assisting our programs, and what you will be doing, please refer to our Volunteer Programs section.

Age Range: 19 years old and up. Anyone accepted as a volunteer needs to be insurable for out-of-country health coverage. Program Donation: In order to help off-set the costs of operating our programs, a donation to GIVE INTERNATIONAL will help pay GIVE's cost of sending the volunteer out on his or her assignment. The amount that needs to be raised varies with the costs that are incurred due to the length of the placement. Give International as a general policy will also provide funds to the local partner to cover any costs needed to facilitate the work to be done by the GIVE volunteer. This will be part of the established fundraising target. Volunteers are expected to raise $1,900 (first 4 weeks) plus $150 (for each additional week), in order to offset the costs that are incurred from the following: Pre-departure information (ie. flight/insurance information, inoculations, visa/passport advice, etc.), Airport transfer to capital city, Vehicle transfer to airport upon project completion, In-country orientation, briefing, debriefing, and evaluation, Cross-cultural training, On-call program director for your assistance, 24/7 emergency support, Vehicle transfers to project locations, Use of personal mobile phone, Financial contribution to the local project, All accommodations (with flushing toilet!), All breakfasts at the guesthouse.

GIVE INTERNATIONAL's volunteer programs support our international programs (schools, clinics, orphanages, etc.) in East Africa through matching volunteers' skills with the worthwhile and meaningful projects that need them. A donation to GIVE INTERNATIONAL will help pay GIVE's cost of sending you on this trip.

GIVE volunteers play an important and pivotal role in our projects' success and sustainability through contributing to the projects directly. Therefore, volunteers are encouraged to raise the funds needed to help off-set these program costs.

This way, in addition to being guaranteed a worthwhile and well-organized volunteer placement, you also have access to an experienced support network to help guide you through it.

Through this network, you are able to spend more time making a difference in a real project, and less time organizing the painstaking (and often frustrating) details of your trip.
