IVHQ assists developing countries by providing volunteers to work in a variety of jobs such as teaching, medical work, HIV/Aids awareness, women empowerment, sports education, construction work, conservation work, surf and swim school, agricultural work and orphanage assistance. Volunteers can choose to work on projects for various periods of time ranging anywhere from one day to six months. Our partner organizations in these countries will place you in institutions which align your interests and strengths with projects where there is a REAL NEED for help and assistance.

RECENT VOLUNTEER FEEDBACK

A small snippet of some of the great feedback we've been receiving. Want more testimonials? Click HERE to go to our testimonials page.

"Having lived and worked in developing countries before, I thought I was prepared for the experience, and anticipated no real shocks.  I was wrong.  I couldn’t have been prepared for just how welcome I felt, and how much I began to feel like a member of the community.  Volunteering wasn’t just about teaching or helping out, but it was more of a learning experience for everyone, including me.  I have no doubt that I learnt more than I could ever teach, and I took away with me more than I could ever give..... Teaching and living in Kenya is something I will never forget.  I think about it everyday, and after resettling into Australian life, remembering my time in Kimuka is a pleasant way to escape the daily grind of Western life. Thanks so much to IVHQ for giving me an opportunity that turned into an experience that will always be a part of me."
