A Truly Life-Changing Experience with IVHQ

I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with IVHQ in Africa, working with children, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. From start to finish, IVHQ was incredibly organized and supportive, ensuring that every step of my journey was smooth and fulfilling.

The orientation was comprehensive, and the local staff were passionate and welcoming, providing all the tools and resources I needed to make a meaningful impact. My time spent with the children was deeply rewarding—they were eager to learn and incredibly resilient. I felt like I was able to contribute to their education and well-being, even in small ways, and that made all the difference.

The living conditions were basic but comfortable, and the accommodation was as expected for a volunteer program. IVHQ’s focus on sustainable, ethical volunteering meant that I knew my time and efforts were being directed where they were most needed.

Overall, this experience has opened my eyes to a new culture, and I feel privileged to have been part of the IVHQ family. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a real difference while experiencing the beauty and diversity of Africa.

The local team was there for me at any opportunity!! They were always willing to help whatever it may be!! I made best friends for life on my trip that I’ll be traveling with and visiting in their home countries! I’ve only been back a week and I already miss the culture and how happy everyone is in Tanzania. I can’t wait to go back and I know IVHQ will support me in my dreams to fulfill this! I decided to sponsor a child and the local team couldn’t have done enough to help me complete this! Best thing I’ve ever done!

My experience was truly wonderful! From the moment I arrived, both the volunteers and coordinators went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The volunteers were warm, approachable, and always willing to lend a hand, whether I needed guidance or just a friendly chat. The coordinators were equally fantastic, always attentive and ready to provide support. Their professionalism, combined with a genuine warmth, helped me feel at ease and allowed me to focus fully on enjoying the experience. I felt like part of a community, supported by people who genuinely cared about my comfort and enjoyment. Their encouragement and friendliness made the entire experience unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a supportive and positive environment.

A truly unique and life changing experience and I would do it all over again. My first solo trip and I'm so glad I chose to do it with IVHQ. The add ons for the weekends can be booked whilst your in the country which is very convenient so you can book with people you meet whilst your there.
Tanzania was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. The locals and volunteers I met along the way had the warmest smiles and open hearts that made me feel at home. I could not recommend this program enough!

The visa application process is super simple and the local team have an excellent guide to guide you through it to avoid any hassle at the airport. The local team were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. I personally found that their wasn't many mosquitos but I think it depends on where you go in Tanzania.

The experience was unique and something I will never forget. I met great people, and friends that I will take with me for life. I learned a lot to grow as a person by living in a completely different reality from my own. Zanzibar is amazing in every aspect and being part of its conservation was a magical experience.

The culture, the food, and the beaches are beautiful, but I will not forget that it is a poor country and the people live very little. I also hope that the IVHQ team's efforts to raise awareness about pollution and the protection of natural landscapes will disappear in the future, as it will mean that the locals have learned to take care of their precious environment and all the effort made by the team and volunteers will have gone a long way.

This project was AMAZING. I feel that I made a real contribution to the project, and I learned a lot and really grew as a person. It puts you outside of your comfort zone to travel alone for weeks at a time, away from friends and family, in a country where you don't speak the language or know anybody. However, this project made me feel very safe, empowered, and a strong sense of connection both with the volunteers as well as the local community. It was absolutely incredible, I'm so grateful to have participated in such an empowering project.

It was a wonderful three-week experience. I was in charge of Child care; the children were great and lovely. The owner of the school was very nice and I got so attached to everyone. The local staff was nice and very helpful. From day one they explained how to safely get to the school from the house and always supported me for all the activities I chose to do on the weekends. The food was good and the house was very clean. I met great friends who came from all over the world. this experience really leaves you with some great and life-changing things because you learn to make sense of things and people.
