The Foundation "Proyecto Ecologico Chiriboga"
Project Information
Foundation Chiriboga is a NGO, legally established by Agreement N° 47 of the Department of the Environment of Ecuador. Foundation Chiriboga runs and assists different projects in several Provinces of Ecuador.
Internships and volunteer placements are now available in various locations nationwide. Volunteering will give the individual, the opportunity to build a mature character through unique learning experiences. As a volunteer, the individual has the opportunity to discover our country, its culture, its local traditions, but mainly to donate his time in benefit of others.
Accommodation will be provided at the modest comfort of safe and clean homes with a warm family atmosphere. Keep in mind that our Project assists to the least fortunate; therefore we can not offer the type of comfort that you may be used to have at your country of origin. This will be a great opportunity so that the volunteers show their appreciation for different life styles and traditions. A volunteer must be sensitive to our culture and avoid treating our people with disrespect and discrimination.
Ecuador is a beautiful multicultural country with a vast variety of natural resources that you can discover and explore. We would like to visit our four natural regions to experience the magic contrast between the Coast, Mountains, Amazon and Galapagos Islands. Plan your time in Ecuador accordingly so that you can use few days of your visit to do some traveling in our Country.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED THE WHOLE YEAR, THERE IS NOT AGE RESTRICTION, EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE HONEST DESIRE, RESPONSIBILITY, PATIENCE AND LOVE TO HELP, CAN BE A VOLUNTEER.
Volunteers can arrive on Saturday, can travel to the communities on Sunday and on Monday they can start their work at the Schools or volunteers’ programs.
We can not offer exchange with other volunteers in an Individual Volunteer Program, if that is your desire, please join one of our WORKCAMPS.
FOUNDATION CHIRIBOGA WORKS FROM JANUARY 2nd TO DECEMBER 15th EVERY YEAR.
