How the ledger works

01, We check the NGO first

Before a project shows up in the directory, we look at who runs it, how it's funded, and what it's actually delivering on the ground. Only checked projects get the verified stamp.

02, Cost is laid out plainly

Every project page shows what your contribution covers, housing, meals, in-country support, before you apply. No surprise fees added after you commit.

03, You apply straight to the project

No call center, no middle office. Your application goes directly to the host NGO's coordinator, and you hear back from the people you'll actually work with.

Getting verified took real paperwork, not a rubber stamp. The volunteers who find us through the ledger already know what our project actually does. Host NGO director, verified listing
