volunteers who've already flown
"i went to Togo to make an impact, but i returned home having gained more than i gave."

"come as you are, with your motivation and passion; everything else will fall into place."
still have questions?
frequently asked
is it safe to volunteer with Wild Geese?
yes. every placement includes secure housing, a full orientation, and local coordinators who are with you the whole way.
why are your fees lower than other operators?
because we're an NGO, not a tour operator. we charge what it costs to host you well — not a markup.
is this real impact, or just voluntourism?
real. every placement is built around a genuine community need, not a photo opportunity.
i've never volunteered abroad — is that ok?
totally. most of our volunteers are first-timers. bring your motivation; we'll handle the rest.
which countries can i volunteer in right now?
Togo is open now. Kenya, South Africa, Uganda are coming soon — register your interest and we'll reach out the moment they open.
how do i start?
pick a country above and send the form on its page (or email talktous@wildgeese.ngo). we reply within 48 hours with your personalised options.
