Program Details

Volunteers work on the Agriculture Project involves both crop farming and animal farming. The work available is dependent on the season and where volunteers are placed. Volunteers will be involved in clearing land for growing crops, assisting with fertilizing the land, developing land for cropping, planting crops, nurturing crops, teaching farming techniques to local staff, assisting with purchasing stock, caring for stock, and fencing and moving stock. To support the orphanages/schools where our volunteers’ work, the produce grown through the agriculture project is donated to these orphanages and schools, thus supplementing the children’s food intake. Work on the Agriculture project usually stops during the hottest period of the day and during this time volunteers will assist with teaching in local schools to ensure they have sufficient volunteer work.
