You don’t need to pay for an expensive program abroad or give up a year of your life to have an impact on a cause or within an organization.

I had a good experience in Uganda

May 03, 2025by: Lilian Olives - United StatesProgram: Volunteer Adventure in Uganda

Volunteering with Murphy Charitable Foundation Uganda has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It is truly one of the best organizations to volunteer with abroad. During my time with them, I had the incredible opportunity to work closely with children and women in rural communities. The warmth, resilience, and joy of the people I met was deeply moving, and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing.

A excellent chance to spend quality time with family.

March 18, 2025by: Alfie Knox - United KingdomProgram: Unforgettable Volunteering + Tanzanian Safari Experience

Under the roar of lions and shadow of leopards—an unprecedented safari experience! We recently had an amazing safari experience with the family! Everything was well planned from the beginning, which made our journey comfortable. The airport welcome was warm, the food was delicious, and the guide, John, was experienced and friendly, telling great stories about the wildlife to our children. During the game drive, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and a rare leopard, which was especially exciting for us children! They were amazed to see wildlife so closely for the first time.
