A word about ‘Voluntourism’
If you decide to volunteer for an organization working
with children in any country around the world, please make
sure that the organization has policies and procedures in
place to protect children. Some organizations allow volunteers
to have direct and unsupervised access to children, without
doing any background checks. This increases the chance of
children being taken advantage of or abused.
We do not think that orphanages are a tourist attraction,
they are homes for children to feel safe and cared for,
not open for tourists. If you really want to help these
children, find a good organization that is providing effective
support and make a donation to them.
