Why pay to volunteer?
Good question. A lot of people think it is ridiculous to pay in order to work for free.
Actually, the volunteer work is not what you are paying for. It is everything around it that costs money.
| Here is why paying to arrange a volunteer placement is necessary: |
 |
The charities we help do not want volunteers that are a financial burden |
|
Feeding, housing and training you can be expensive, and somebody has to pay for it |
|
If the local authorities had money, they would hire someone locally |
|
It costs money to run Travel2help.org (rent, salaries, phone, website, etc.) |
|
Travel2help.org does not receive support from the church, the EU or any government |
|
|
Also consider the following:
|
 |
With your contribution, we can provide sustainable, long-term assistance |
|
You generate income for local families & businesses
|
|
You have the benefit of a local coordinator, who is there for you |
|
You have pre-arranged accommodation, meals and volunteer placement |
|
There is a safety net for you so that you can focus on helping and learning |
|
|
| Travel2help.org can help you if: |
 |
You want to volunteer in an effective, sustainable way |
|
You want an appropriate, legitimate volunteer placement |
|
You want to avoid the risk of the usual tourist traps |
