The catch is, that we have to learn everything about how the charity operates, will want to be able to visit the sites where it operates, speak to past volunteers and current staff, and basically be sure that any money we send will be put to direct use by the charity to run its program.
We have found that many so-called "charities" in South America (and elsewhere) funnel money out of their programs and into other pockets. Any charity we work with MUST be transparent with us.
What we are looking for ideally are grassroots organizations that have an existing volunteer program with costs in line with what we are familiar with.
If you know of a charity organization that might like to partner with Voluntraveler, please contact us.
