Frequently Asked Questions
What is human trafficking & why should I volunteer to help survivors?
Human trafficking is a crime where all men, women & children are sold into dangerous situations. Sex trafficking is particularly problematic for women throughout Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, with 75% of those trafficked, sold into sex slavery. Due to a lack of financial aid, victims have limited help. This is why it is crucial to raise awareness and help the rehabilitation of those affected by trafficking.
Can I stay for longer than 1 month?
Yes! This volunteer program is available throughout the year and volunteers can choose to stay from 4 weeks to 12 weeks working on this impactful project!
Are there Spanish lessons available?
Whether you’re looking for beginner lessons or advanced lessons, Kaya can provide an additional intensive language course before embarking on your volunteering project. You can apply to the course directly, or if you have any questions before booking, speak to one of our advisors for guidance!
Is accommodation provided for this project?
Yes! Kaya provides fully funded accommodation for volunteers and interns alike. For this project, volunteers will stay at a homestay with a local family in Quito. You will be charmed by the historic values still preserved throughout the city and the amazing warmth and friendliness of its people!
