Project Care Volunteering | Volunteer Abroad

Project Care Volunteering organises group volunteering trips for university students to schools and colleges for disadvantaged young people in India and Uganda. It was founded in 2012 and has since coordinated 15 group volunteering trips, raising over £100,000 towards transformational projects, including sanitation projects and the building of new school infrastructure (such as classrooms, playgrounds, toilets and kitchens) at a number of sponsored schools in India and Africa.
