What we do:
KIDS Worldwide helps to organise placements for international volunteers
to get involved in over thirty childrens projects located in developing
countries around the world. These projects are managed by organisations
registered in the country in which they work.
Our point of difference:
Kids Worldwide is different from the majority of other volunteer organisations
in that we do not charge the projects any money for being on our website
or for our services. This means that volunteers only pay for their food
and accomodation to the project directors themselves, when they arrive
- thus directly benefitting the project they are going to help. There
is no middle man and the cost is thus very reasonable to volunteers.
Answers to many volunteers questions related to cost
and the way we work can be found in the volunteer
section of our website as well as the about us
section.

Supporting Childrens Projects
We also support orphanages and childrens projects by
helping with graphic / web design, and internet communications, especially
with regard to volunteer placements. If you know of a project which
may be interested in our work, or run such a project yourself, you
are welcome to contact us. First read the
affiliation section.

Correspondence
We were recently contacted by the organiser of Youth
in Prison which is an exchange programme for Dutch volunteers only,
who want to go to either Colombia or Brazil. Dutch volunteers go there
and work for 2-3 weeks giving different courses and workshops (all different
types of art) and exchange ideas and values with the local people. Youngsters
will also go to Holland to give workshops together with Dutch volunteers
who speak Portuguese and Spanish fluently. If interested, contact Tom
Schurs. |
