HUMANITARIAN TRIP PROGRAMS
Freepackers’ projects are about sharing, interacting and learning. You will experience a different culture, new encounters and local traditions and will walk away with a more open-minded and global perspective!
Humanitarian trip projects are sustainable development projects that encompass social, economic, and environmental aspects. It is a way to combine travel and volunteer work to help improve a community’s living conditions.
Humanitarian projects involve renovation, reconstruction and education, all in collaboration with local communities. The target audience is very broad, and there are many exciting experiences to be had!
Humanitarian aid projects involve emergency aid during an exceptional crisis or natural disaster situation. According to Law insider, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the United Nations (UN), humanitarian aid is travel for the express purpose of promoting human welfare only pertaining to active disaster areas.
Humanitarian trips are not emergency and one-off aid projects, but rather programs committed to the continuous improvement of a community’s living conditions.
Humanitarian trip projects can range from education and community development to renovation and reconstruction, all the while prioritizing collaborative work with local communities.
There are humanitarian projects designed for youth, families, solo or group volunteering.
