AFAWI has a number of ongoing projects for Volunteer Interns to choose from. These projects are located in rural communities no tour companies have access to.
Our projects have a set schedule and at different times of year some projects may be more of a priority. Volunteer Interns personal preference will be accommodated as much as possible, though depending on the time and length of your stay, the implementation activities and the level of results witnessed may vary. There is opportunity to learn about and contribute to multiple projects.
