Projects Abroad Reviews 

We were able to do volunteer work for children with 7 members. We tried painting, planting, playing with children, and so on. Also, we could experience KAVA and LOVO.

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was definitely "back to basics:", but that seemed to all be part of the fun. The staff were amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They gave us useful information about the animals, and to be able to see so many animals, reasonably close by was magical. I also enjoyed the projects helping villagers. It made me feel welcome and useful

The team are so lovely and I also knew exactly what was going on. Had so much fun.

Just finished 2 weeks in Cambodia for 15-18 year olds. The itinerary was super organised with buses for us all time and 3 free meals a day. The staff were all very friendly and helpful especially Sambath who went above and beyond into looking after us. Made a lot of lifelong friends and memories and the volunteering was super fun. Trip to Siem Reap was also amazing.

The experience was really eye-opening for me. It gave me amazing insight into what it is like to be a part of the Nepalese health care system. I would definitely choose Projects Abroad again if I could.

Good service
I was able to go to various hospitals, and they responded quickly when I contacted them on my smartphone.
However, the schedule often changed, so I wish they had informed me in advance. Also, I wish they had provided a support person when visiting the hospital.

My son gained a tremendous amount from his time in Ghana with Projects Abroad, making new friends and learning a new culture. He is now looking at how to build bridges with Ghana after this fantastic experience.

We sent our teenage son (16) for 2 weeks to the Taricaya Reserve in the Amazon jungle in Peru. We availed of the Projects Abroad chaperone service which gave us great peace of mind. Prior to him leaving, Projects Abroad replied quickly to any queries we had. They’re very organised and efficient. He was very well looked after from start to finish. He felt so safe and we had no concerns about his well-being while he was away. He really liked the team in his project and found it to be a really enriching experience. He learnt so much about life in the Amazon and came home with a deeper appreciation of the natural world. He loved seeing parrots, monkeys and other animals in their natural habitat. He had great stories for us when he got home!
I would have no hesitancy in recommending the Projects Abroad program for teenagers, it’s just wonderful.

Being able to explore the town and observe all of the wildlife was a once in a lifetime experience that I couldn’t recommend more. The host family was very hospitable and the staff at the reserve was very kind. The only issue I had was with the showers at the reserve, since some have very low hot water pressure which made it hard to wash my hair. I would recommend bringing dry shampoo.

Our son had a fantastic time in the Galápagos Islands!! We weren’t sure to send him there when he asked us, as it’s far away from the UK, however Projects Abroad’s Jessica gave us lots of information whenever we contacted her to ensure everything went well. Also, it was so nice that a Projects Abroad chaperone, Marie, went there from London together with them as I was concerned for children to go by themselves as there were two flight transits in Columbia and Ecuador.
Overall, our son had a fantastic experience and great opportunity to make friends from many countries while doing worthwhile conservation projects. Thank you so much!!

It was just two weeks, but every day was fulfilling, and it became the best two weeks of my life. The staff and the members were all amazing, and I just had an incredibly fun experience.

We had a great group of people. Nice to do something useful

The people, the desitnation, and the activities all made my trip increadible.

This experience is awsome for a lot of reasons ;

First things first, Peru is a beautiful country, and the Amazionian rain forest is one of the most beautiful things i've seen in my entire life. At the Taricaya reserve, I felt useful and not like a random tourist, i felt like i was doing something really meaningful.
Everyone at the reserve was nice and friendly, and wanted to share their knowledge with us.
I did many things and different activities, from farming to building, or feeding the animals... Thank you to Taricaya Eco Reserve and Projects abroad for this amazing experience !

The project Galapagos conservation is not the quality that I thought. The activities were very poor and overrated in the description on the website. Beside that I think that free time could be better quality in the way we could spent time in a more fruitful way. At the end of all we mostly fed the giant turtle and cleaned the invasive plants. The project could have been more engaging and productive

The communication and organisation was excellent from start to finish.

Experience with project abroad was very good as staff in Nepal were very helpful including the host family provided were very friendly and trustworthy. Placement in alka hospitals was very exciting as I was able to visit many departments.

This was an unforgettable experience for me. It was my first time visiting a developing country, and I was surprised to see that even basic infrastructure like traffic lights and roads weren’t in place. At the elementary school we visited, there were no windows or doors, yet the children were more full of life and energy than in any country I’ve seen before. Their spirit gave me energy too.

Fantastic staff at the Soysambu Conservancy!

brilliant experience. my son had the best time with amazing opportunities. it felt so safe and well organised and would recommend this for all young people
