Our projects in Fiji are a truly unique experience, far removed from the typical volunteer crowds and tourist destinations, offering an unparalleled experience in one of the world’s most beautiful and welcoming countries. Taking place in remote, rural villages that can only be accessed by invitation from the local chief, these opportunities allow you to immerse yourself in a way of life few people ever get to witness. You’ll become a valued member of a Fijian family, whilst working on initiatives that directly support the goals of the Fiji National Development Plan.
Our projects in Bali offer a unique opportunity to live within a traditional community and work with inspiring partners in the heart of Ubud. This vibrant area, known for its lush landscapes and rich cultural heritage, provides an immersive experience like no other. As you engage with local families and participate in community activities, you’ll gain invaluable insights into Balinese culture while making a meaningful contribution to sustainable initiatives through your chosen project..
