Age does not protect against poverty. So you could describe the situations of many seniors in Chile. Help with your commitment to people for whom the elderly home has become a last haven and give them warmth and attention. Many older people in Chile do not count on family support or can not afford a life of their own financially or physically. In order to enable them a pleasant life and to meet the difficult everyday with hope and perspectives, there are a number of senior homes in Chile. Some of them are based on religious aid organizations, others are funded purely through donations. The commitment of volunteers is warmly welcomed in order to facilitate and further improve the care of the socially needy, older people.

As a volunteer for one of these Chilean charity organizations, you are looking after the care of elderly people from often poor backgrounds. At the same time you experience a nice atmosphere, characterized by helpfulness, openness and warmth. The Christian religion is lived openly in many institutions and determines the daily work routine.

The volunteer work can be joined throughout the year. The start and end date can be set flexible, according to your availability and travel plans. Ask our experienced staff to coordinate your participation in this meaningfull volunteer project.
