WHY VOLUNTEER WITH CHILDREN?
Volunteering abroad with children is a great way to add to children’s education, health and well-being, and future employability on a global scale. When you volunteer with children, you’re a part of equipping them with life-long skills that will help build on their progress in school and in life.

facilitating English language lessons

HOW DWF ADDS TO SUSTAINABLE CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
DWF volunteers participate in volunteer programs around the world. This program contributes towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Why does this matter? Well, this means that our activities are aimed at the most relevant global issues. And, by collaborating with local communities, DWF is able to offer you a meaningful experience abroad where you can make a real impact in building on childhood development globally.

Providing children with a stable and consistent learning experience is key, sustainability is a vital part of all our volunteer work with children. For this reason, when you take part in volunteer work with children abroad, you’ll work with local teachers in community-led initiatives. This ensures that, even if volunteers come and go, volunteer work doesn’t disrupt classes or have a negative impact on children’s learning.
