International Volunteer HQ [IVHQ]

I recently completed a medical program experience in Faridabad (Delhi) with IVHQ. I would absolutely use them again for any future volunteering I may do and certainly recommend them to anyone else thinking about trying volunteering. The experience with IVHQ was excellent from the very beginning. Easy to use website. Clear information. Fair pricing. The preparation checklist left no room for errors and created a sense of confidence in the program and process before leaving home. There was clear support before leaving, while away and follow up when arriving home. It makes you feel that IVHQ genuinely care about your experience which is a great thing. We were well looked after in our home stay and had the best group during our stay. I’m 52, the eldest volunteer at the time was 77, the youngest 24, but we all had a common goal which is a great starting point. If you are considering volunteering I’d say go for it! With a one week option in lots of programs you can’t go wrong. I absolutely loved my whole time away and have already started looking into my next trip.

It was by far the best volunteer experience I have done I only wish I could have stayed longer. The culture and food was so amazing and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. This experience I will remember for the rest of my life and have made so many amazing friendships.

My experience volunteering on a childcare project with International Volunteer HQ was incredibly rewarding. I spent two weeks there, and it quickly became clear that this was more than just a short trip—it was something meaningful. The time I spent with the children was the highlight of the experience. Each day involved different activities, and I really valued the opportunity to interact, support, and simply be present with them. Their positivity and openness made every moment feel worthwhile. What I appreciated most was how this experience allowed me to step out of my usual routine and focus on giving back. It helped me realise how even small contributions can have an impact. At the same time, it encouraged personal growth and a better understanding of different environments and people. The program was well structured, and the support from the team made everything run smoothly. I always felt comfortable and guided when needed. Overall, it was a very enriching experience that left a strong impression on me. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to volunteer and make a difference.
