Ecuador
Around 45% of Ecuadorians live below the poverty line. People are needed to volunteer in Ecuador to help improve the lives of countless people in the country through working with local children, teaching English in language schools and supporting local health services. Look for the Big Giving logo for the projects that we help with extra supplies.
Conservation volunteering in Ecuador is vital to for the continued survival of its huge - but sadly endangered - rainforests. The biodiversity of these tropical forest is greater than anywhere else on earth and given the Amazon's importance on a global scale, its preservation is a matter of concern for us all.
All the Ecuador volunteering projects we work with are run for the benefit of local environments, local people and local communities. By choosing to travel in Ecuador with i-to-i, you will make a difference to people's lives and have a truly memorable experience. Some of these projects also get a little bit of extra help through our Big Giving programme.
