Free / Cheap Volunteering Abroad

Hay everybody,

I've looked on a few websites about volunteering abroad but they are all really expensive 'trips'.

I'm looking for something that I don't have to fork a load of money for (I'm talking about the actual volunteering itself, of corse i understand expenses for travel/ accommodation / visa etc. are necessary). I can't be the only one surely? Some are so pricey how does anyone afford it? I'm all for giving back but there is a fine line between helping and being ripped off.

I'm looking for volunteering places not to expensive but where help it really actually needed, either in Europe or Asia. I was thinking workaway but I'm still undecided. Does any on have any good organisations they know or websites to find such things would be really helpful

Peace and love to you all from Italy!!

Do you have any specific projects/countries in mind? Always remember that the cost usually includes transfers, meals and accommodation, sometimes organising a trip independently can work out more expensive.

Have a look at our volunteering abroad directory - lots of options inc free and low cost.
