DONATE
Donate, Contribute, Give.
You can help communities in the developing world by becoming a donor or a participant. We invite you to give to poverty alleviating, sustainable projects and programs developed and delivered by our host partners to meet the specific needs of each unique community. By becoming a donor, you become part of the growing community of active global citizens who want to see real, lasting, positive change in the world. By participating on an International Volunteer Experience, you have the opportunity to see where you donation is going, who administers the programs, and connect directly with the locals you are helping.
How Can I Make a Difference?
Become a participant and join us on an International Volunteer Experience:
By becoming a volunteer, you contribute both your physicall and financial resources. You will work side by side with local community members on a sustainable project they've selected. More often than not, this involves building homes, community centres, schools, and livelihood centres. A substantial portion of the cost of your trip goes directly to the Host Partner for supplies, equipment and building materials, local paid labour, and operating programs within the community.
Join a pre-arranged short-term project or four-week student trip, or create your own customized trip. Build a team of family, friends, colleagues, classmates, or a special interest group. Developing World Connections will arrange everything from flights, in-country transport, accommodation and meals to project materials and labour. Plus, the entire amount paid through DWC, flight airfare included, is deemed a charitable donation, which means it is 100% tax deductible. You can also fundraise to help meet the cost of your trip, and DWC will issue charitable tax receipts to those who donate on your behalf.
