Volunteer to help children in Kenya, Thailand and Indonesia
The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking,
dynamic individuals of all ages/backgrounds to contribute to our orphanage and
education centers in Kenya, Thailand or Indonesia. IHF has grown over the past
25 years under the visionary leadership of Carol Sasaki, CEO and the dedication of
thousands of volunteers from around the world.
IHF is distinct from other NGO’s in this field as we practice the ‘Pass it on’ ethos in
marginalized regions. We offer the privilege of education to those who without our
organization could not reach it. IHF has no central headquarters, as each center
is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its
host country. IHF volunteers teach English, computer and math classes as well as
maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at every centre.
In addition to teaching, our organization’s volunteers engage in:
? Public relations
? Fundraising
? Legal
? Finance
? Project experts (i.e., Peace farm and food relief initiatives)
? Media
IHF offers four unique roles for volunteers. We have opportunities for those who
prefer online advocacy or those who would purely like to gain in-field experience
and teach the children at one of the centers. IHF thrives because of its success
in recruiting versatile volunteers. Those who are secure without the comforts
of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity. Although we are mainly
seeking those with the above expertise, IHF is willing to consider those with
transferrable skills, if you can demonstrate them during our application process.
Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential. Those interested in
volunteering at an IHF centre are required to complete a level of pre-trip duties in
order to gain an understanding of how grassroots organizations function.
IHF is a voluntary organization in the greatest sense of the term. Nobody is paid
a wage from top to bottom. Therefore, when volunteering with us, the volunteer
will need to pay their own travel expenses. To stay at one of the centers, a $55 to
$75 a week fee will cover the cost of accommodation and meals and decreases the
longer you volunteer.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself further with our organization

Looking for a volunteer management opportunity? The International Humanity Foundation needs your expertise and vigour to direct one of our orphanages!
The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic graduates to contribute to our orphanage and education centers in Kenya, Thailand or Indonesia. IHF has grown over the past 25 years under the visionary leadership of Carol Sasaki (CEO) and the dedication of thousands of volunteers from around the world.
IHF is distinct from other NGO’s in this field as we practice the ‘Pass it on’ ethos in marginalized regions. We offer the privilege of education to those who without our organization could not reach it. IHF has no central headquarters, as each center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. IHF volunteers teach English, computer and math classes as well as maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at every centre.
In addition to teaching, our organization’s volunteers engage in:
Public relations
Fundraising
Legal
Finance
Project experts (i.e., Peace farm and food relief initiatives)
Media
At the centers, directors divide their time between teaching and nurturing the children and working on international tasks. All directors manage one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, photography, fundraising and media. Special projects constantly arise and include moving food during famine feeds to monitoring children during breaks. Our center directors have a lot of say in what they do and must possess excellent time management skills.
Those who are secure without the comforts of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity. Although we are mainly seeking those with the above expertise, IHF is willing to consider those with transferrable skills if you can demonstrate them during our application process. Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential. Those interested in volunteering at an IHF centre are required to complete a level of pre-trip duties in order to gain an understanding of how grassroots organizations function.
Salary / Pay: IHF is a voluntary organization in the greatest sense of the term. Nobody is paid a wage from top to bottom. Directors must commit to serve at least a year at the center. Accommodation and food is supplemented by IHF.
