Imfundo Kahle
A non-profit educational partner organization dedicated to empowering vulnerable women and children through education.
The mission is to promote a more equitable society for women and children by contributing to the development of their skills through education and empowerment.
This is a great opportunity to get to know the local community, experience life in Peru and help the locals.
This volunteering is suitable for people who like to start something from scratch, lead a project and want to leave a profound impact.
Iquitos is a Peruvian port city and gateway to the jungle lodges and tribal villages of the northern Amazon. You can combine your stay with hiking, kayaking or exploring around with your host family. Iquitos has a vibrating community you are more than welcome to join local activities and festivals. You will be staying with a lovely local family in a neighbourhood in the city and you will be able to experience the Amazonian way of life.

About the experience in: Iquitos, Peru
United Kingdom
I had an absolutely incredible time working with Casa Ainbo! The family you stay with are so welcoming, generous and fun. They're always happy to help you however they can and they treat you like a member of the family. I recommend staying here for as long as you can so you can really invest time with the kids. There are a variety of things you can do to help. During my time here I taught English; helped with a range of homework; supported with sports and assisted with events amongst other things. Iquitos is an amazing place and a real adventure and I hope to return someday in the future.

La experiencia con la ONG fue muy enriquecedora, por un lado compartir con encargados y voluntarios para poder trabajar en equipo, y por otro lado la experiencia de compartir y poder guiar a las infancias en su proceso educativo personal.
Aprendí muchísimo como persona y como profesora, espero volver algún día! Gracias por la oportunidad!! 🫶🏽

I applied to stay for one month but decided to stay for almost two, because I really love the house and I felt like it is hard to build a stronger connection with the kids in such a short time. I gave art clases and the kids really loved them. I was free to do whatever I want and to use all the materials so we could get really creative. I loved seeing the kids getting creative. Especially the kids that think they cannot really draw. If you plan your clases well you can make the kids really happy.
The other days we helped them with their homework, which also is really important.

Thank you so much for everything!

This is an absolutely wonderful project. The family who take you in our lovely, warm and kind. If you show them respect and kindness they will take you as one of their own. The work itself is incredibly rewarding and you get to help kids who really appreciate the work that you do. Iquitos is a really interesting city also. Would definitely recommend
