Haiti

The main reason why you should consider volunteering abroad is to make a difference in the world – there’s no replicating the satisfaction you get from knowing that you helped out, even if only a little bit. But then again, there are some more worldly reasons too for choosing volunteering: you get to travel, and you get to travel with your expenses partly covered by someone else.

If you are on a tight budge, volunteering is a great way to see the world without breaking the bank. There are lots of volunteering opportunities abroad that will cover accommodation and meals, and sometimes even travel costs. So if you feel like you can change the world and you want to have fun while doing it, here are top 5 destinations for volunteering.

Haiti

After the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 2010, hundreds of thousands of people died or lots their homes. While relief efforts have done their best in Haiti, there is still much to fix in this lovely Caribbean country. You can find lots of volunteering programmes for Haiti, and you can be sure that you are traveling to a place where your help in really needed. While the damages are still visible, there still a lot to see in Haiti for volunteers and regular tourists.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a popular tourist destination, but if you don’t want to visit it the regular way you can help preserve this natural paradise. Programmes range from agro-tourism projects, forest conservation, wildlife refugee protection and teaching English, so every volunteer can do something close to their skills and interests, and you’ll be given ample opportunity to enjoy this tropical paradise.

Kenya

If you like wildlife and cultural travel, then participating in a volunteering project in Kenya might just be the perfect things for you. You can get involved in helping to develop communities in Kenya, to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children, providing education and counseling or medical care, and you’ll definitely have time left to go on a few safaris too.

Nepal

Nepal

Nepal is an amazing destination for adventure travelers, while contributing to the empowerment of marginalized communities. You can teach English in Buddhist monasteries, raising health and equality awareness, or participate in youth development schemes.

Many programmes offer volunteers the chance to go on adventure tours, treks, sight seeing tours and jungle safaris for a reduced price.

Peru

Peru is a wonderfully varied country with beautiful scenery, colorful cities and amazing historical attractions, so no volunteer can get bored in a place like this. There are many volunteering programmes based in Cusco, which is the gateway to attractions such as Macchu Picchu or the Inca Trail. You can help with childcare, construction projects, jungle conservation or at healthcare clinics.
