Children with disabilities

Work with children that need enthusiastic and committed volunteers to help them lead productive and self-sufficient lives.

There are many countries around the world where children with disabilities are denied access to vital educational and communal services. This is why you are needed. With the help of volunteers numerous projects are able to thrive.

These projects enable disabled children to receive the care and education that they require to lead full and constructive lives.

Our programmes range from working with visually and sound impaired children, to autistic children and non able-bodied children.
