Childcare Volunteering in the Philippines
Work on a sustainable community initiative that brings joy and makes a difference to children in our communities. Join Kaya on its Childcare Volunteering project in the Philippines, which aims to help disadvantaged children aged 3 to 6 years old develop their cognitive, physical, and social skills by conducting creative and supportive playtime sessions. The project's location is in the Eastern Visayas region, in Tacloban City—one of the cities severely hit by typhoon Haiyan in 2013. Children in the Philippines have limited access to free early education centers and nurseries, thus deprived of the care and support they need before entering school. Volunteers in this project provide essential assistance to the childcare center staff. You will help the children with reading and writing skills, lead educational games, and create activities such as painting, drawing, and more! To join this project, you must be competent in English. Previous experience working with children is preferred but not required. Patient, resourceful, and energetic are essential qualities for making the most of this placement.
