Volunteering in Burundi… for independent travellers!

This page features a range of volunteering programs and responsible tourism opportunities in Burundi. Some of these opportunities are completely free, where you receive free food and accommodation in exchange for voluntary work. Other opportunities require a daily/monthly contribution fee for food or accommodation. Please note that many countries in Africa, such as Burundi, are in the development process, and volunteering may not always be a ‘free’ thing.

If you want to have an impact but only have a few weeks to volunteer abroad, we recommend choosing non-free opportunities where you can contribute with both your skills and money. This will give the local community a better chance to develop. When you travel to Africa, consider staying at one of our NGOs as a volunteer or paying guest instead of a “western hotel” or tourist village.

Our website, Voluntouring, is not a tourist agency and does not charge agency fees (middle-man fees) from the organizations listed below. All of your money will go directly to support the NGO you chose and your stay in Burundi. Therefore, you will find that the fees for volunteering experiences are much lower than usual.
