Overview
At the International Humanity Foundation (IHF) we care for impoverished youth who have been neglected due to poverty, disease, and/or disaster through our Children’s Homes program.
Volunteers who sign up to be a part of our Orphan Care in Thailand project make a very real impact on the children living in the IHF Children’s Home. Volunteers provide hands-on help with the home’s day-to-day operations, helping to ensure a family atmosphere.
Volunteers actively participate in the lives of the children. You could find yourself organizing games and workshops for the youth, playing with the children, leading classes and workshops, assisting with counseling, helping the youth with homework and daily chores, and even completing small center maintenance projects.
Eligibility
IHF is looking for volunteers who can commit a minimum of 1 month as part of our Legacy Volunteer Program . Volunteers accepted to this program complete 4 hours of local tasks per day and 4 hours focusing on a personal legacy project which will build a sustainable solution for our center.
Volunteers accepted to this program will have: a relevant degree from an accredited university, previous international travel and volunteer experience, confidence using the English language, deep empathy for impoverished children and their communities, and a commitment to our Core Values .
Program Cost
Volunteers in our Legacy Volunteer Program pay a weekly fee of $100 USD. Additional funding required for the implementation of your personal legacy project will be fundraised. Accommodation and meals prepared by a local member of staff are included in this program.
Not included are your travel costs to and from our Thailand Center, initial visa fees, immunizations, travel insurance, and any spending money you wish to bring with you.

Mission Statement
To educate impoverished children--activating their highest potential--and educate global citizens, through real life experiences, about the realities of impoverished communities, the value of other cultures, and the many responsibilities of running an international NGO. *Children always come first. We exist first and foremost to meet the needs of the children we serve. *Education empowers. We believe that education unlocks the door to greater potential and empowers people to make good decisions that lead to a brighter future for all of humankind. *Honesty is the only policy. Authenticity, sincerity, and transparency are not only paramount, they’re non-negotiable. *Celebrate differences. There’s a reason we see differently, our differences are not a liability, they are our strength.
