Load moreWhy volunteer for Special Needs abroad?
For those living with disabilities, getting access to individual care is extremely important. Oftentimes, those in under-resourced communities aren’t able to get the support they need.
As a Special Needs volunteer, you’ll supplement the important work done by local staff and provide extra care, attention and connection for people with disabilities. This is a unique way to add value to a local community while gaining practical experience volunteering with disabled people. Your time and energy will directly support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals #3: Good Health and Wellbeing and #10: Reduced Inequalities.
IVHQ’s Special Needs programs are available year-round and are well suited to caring, compassionate volunteers who want to help those who face physical and mental disabilities.
Contributes to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #3: Good Health and Well-Being
Good mental and physical health is key to sustainable development and building healthy and happy communities. Now more than ever, we must increase access to free healthcare and health education across the globe to achieve an acceptable standard of living and wellbeing for all.

”SO MANY AMAZING MOMENTS.. I was able to see a young girl who had lost her legs in a house fire walk home from school for the first time in her life using her new prosthetic legs.. That was amazing. My time in Kenya was some of the best months of my life. I felt joy, love, and compassion stronger then ever before. I've been gone from Kenya for 3 days now and I have already begun planning for my next trip back later on this year!”
