The best experience of my life

July 23, 2025by: Nour Kandil - BrazilProgram: Childcare Volunteering with IVHQ in Zambia

I am so so happy that I chose IVHQ for my first volunteering trip. As a solo traveler, choosing IVHQ was a great choice that surprised me in so many ways. Their support online and through the local coordinators, their readiness to help, how organized they are, the accommodation that felt like home, the local team that felt more like a family… everything was perfect to be honest, way beyond my expectations. I am looking forward to going on more trips with them and have already invited so many of my friends to do so.

I loved volunteering with IVHQ! Their prices are affordable and they have programs all over the world to choose from. I had many questions before my trip, and they were prompt to respond to my emails and provided a lot of information on the website as well. I felt very prepared when I arrived at my program. While at my program they kept in touch with me to make sure I was enjoying it. They were willing to make any changes necessary to ensure I had a good experience. The program itself was incredible and I loved being able to work with the kids. After completing my project, they continued to thank me for my support and listened to my feedback. I hope that I can volunteer with IVHQ again someday!

    With a significant portion of children living under the poverty line in Zambia, many of these vulnerable children suffer from poor hygiene, inadequate education, insufficient food and little healthcare. Individualized attention and a focus on early development and education are crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty in Zambia. Volunteers on the Childcare project work in childcare facilities for underprivileged children, nursery schools, or day cares centres. In addition to teaching, volunteer tasks include mentoring, helping with homework, meals, cleaning, helping with the general running of the home/facility and interacting with the children through games, singing, dancing, sports and arts and crafts.
