NURSERY VOLUNTEERING
In the first years of life, love is not extra, it’s essential. In this program, you’ll support children aged 1 to 3 in schools and orphanages, where presence, affection, and attention are key to their development.
Your role is to be there, offering care, creating routines, teaching through play, and holding space with tenderness. Because when childhood has been interrupted by poverty, violence or abandonment, the most transformative force is simply constant affection.
What will you do?
-
Daily care in orphanages and schools in vulnerable areas
-
Songs in English to teach body parts, colors, vocabulary, routines, numbers and letters
-
Support with meals, hygiene and rest
-
Early stimulation through bonding
-
Emotional support and nurturing presence
Here, what matters most isn’t what you teach with words, but what you give with hugs.

HEALTH VOLUNTEERING
Within the area of health, we run health volunteering programs designed for healthcare professionals and advanced students who wish to contribute to the delivery of primary medical care in underserved local communities.

Main activities include:
-
Basic outpatient care and treatment of minor wounds.

Management of common childhood conditions, such as upper respiratory tract infections, febrile syndromes, gastroenteritis, or simple skin infections.

⚕️ This program is strictly limited to primary and outpatient care, with no surgical procedures involved, and seeks to address the most frequent health needs of children, adolescents, and women in the region.
Because caring for health also means caring for dreams, and within every simple consultation beats the hope of a future that is healthier, fairer, and more human
