If you are interested in volunteering abroad in 2022, these are the best destinations for tons of amazing projects and volunteering programs you can sign up for.

Thailand

This absolute paradise on Earth is probably one of the most visited and loved countries by volunteers from all around the world. Over 10 million people travel to Thailand on a yearly basis alone. Other than just going to this beautiful Asian country for tourist and travelling purposes, lots of people go to Thailand to volunteer. Whether you go for the exotic places, cute animals, amazing cuisine or some of the most stunning sightseeing spots, there is nothing in Thailand that won’t absolutely blow you away and leave you breathless.

If you plan on volunteering in Thailand next year, there are more than 15 programs available that you can sign up for. For instance, you can teach kids English, do an internship at a medical project, or volunteer with cute baby elephants at a village. No matter what program you choose, you will surely have the time of your life in Thailand.

Peru

Peru, also known as “The Land of the Incas” is a total gem of a destination. This beautiful country is located in South America. It has been ruled by the Spaniards for a very long time. As such, this country has a very rich history, versatile culture, stunningly beautiful architecture and some of the most delicious food. Their everyday lifestyle reflects the time spent being influenced by their previous colonial masters. Spaniards left traces of their culture which is now present in everyday lives of people living in Peru.

If you wish to visit this insanely beautiful country in 2022, you can enrol in the Teaching Project, Disabled Care Project, or Kindergarten program as a volunteer. Dental and medical students can also find amazing volunteering opportunities in this country with the Dental Elective Project and Health Care Project.

India

India is a perfect example of “the land of diversity”. As one of the oldest civilizations of the world, India is currently the biggest democratic country in the world. The amazing scenery of snow-covered mountains as well as the lively green Western Ghats of the South, India has so much beauty to offer to whoever chooses to visit this country.

If you want to volunteer abroad, India may be one of the best choices out there. Firstly, there are so many exciting projects you can participate in and in many different locations across India. There are plenty of societal changes you can bring to India by volunteering there in 2022. If you are a medical or dental student, you can be a part of dental/healthcare programs and internships in India. Some of these volunteering projects include teaching, childcare, women empowering projects, volunteering with elephants, and so on. All of these projects are designed in a way that benefits both the volunteers and the society of India.

South Africa

The farthest country in the south of the African continent also has a lot of opportunities for eager and excited volunteers. For instance, there is the Kruger National Park, the place where the big 5 resides, but there are also stunning beaches offered by Western Cape Town. If you prefer wild nature you can also hike up the mountain to get the most gorgeous view of Cape Town. All in all, there’s a lot to be explored.

If you want to travel and volunteer in South Africa next year, there are tons of amazing programs that you can choose from. All of these are projects that give you a chance to leave a positive impact on your surroundings and provide meaningful contributions to the locals of South Africa. Some of the popular programs in this country include the Township Program, the Teaching Program, Health Care Program, and so on. For those who would prefer to stay for a shorter period of time, there is a 2 Week Special Volunteering Program you can sign up for.

Nepal

Right next to India, there is a small Himalayan nation with rich beauty and lots of great destinations to be discovered. Nepal is one of the most affordable destinations in the world. They have rich culture and stunningly beautiful landscapes worth visiting.

However, back in 2015 the country was hit by a devastating natural catastrophe when a huge earthquake in Nepal left many people homeless and orphans. Consequences of that earthquake are still pretty much present and that is why most of the volunteering programs are aimed at helping the victims of that devastating event. Providing shelters and basic necessities to kids who were left orphaned and alone is just one of many ways these projects are created to help Nepal recover from this natural catastrophe.

In 2022, you can help Nepal and their people by participating in their Orphanage Project, Teaching Project, Medical Internship Project, and the Nepal Volunteer Adventure Project.

Conclusion

Volunteering around the world is one of the most touching ways to help change the world for the better step by step. These destinations are great for those who want to offer unconditional and selfless help to those who need them.
