Volunteer with
Kids at Play
Travel to Bolivia, Rwanda or Vietnam. Build wells, playgrounds and homes. Bring happiness to children who need it most.
More than a trip. A real difference.
With Kids at Play you experience the natural wonders of Bolivia, the East African mountains of Rwanda, or the rural countryside of Vietnam while working directly alongside local communities.
You will help build water infrastructure, playgrounds and living spaces for children in orphanages. Every hour you give translates into lasting change for the kids who call these places home.
No specialised skills are required. Just a willingness to work hard, a good attitude, and a genuine desire to contribute.
What you will do
Water Infrastructure
Help construct wells, reservoirs and clean water systems. Your hands-on work gives communities reliable access to safe water.
Building Projects
Assist with construction and renovation of living spaces, kitchens and communal areas at orphanages and community centres.
Play and Connection
Build playgrounds, donate games and toys, and spend time with the children. The human connection you bring is just as valuable as the physical work.
Requirements
We welcome volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. A few things to keep in mind before you apply:
- A minimum stay of 6 months. Contact us if you have special circumstances and we will see what is possible.
- Volunteers under 18 must travel under parental supervision, or provide a signed letter of consent from a parent or guardian.
- A positive attitude and genuine motivation to contribute. No prior construction experience is needed.
- Flexibility and resilience. Work conditions in the field are basic and rewarding in equal measure.
Our active volunteer trip is in Bolivia at Orphanage Familia Feliz. We are working to raise funds to reopen volunteer placements in Rwanda and Vietnam. If you would like to help make that happen, please consider making a donation.
Ready to volunteer?
Fill in the form and tell us a bit about yourself. We want to know who you are, what drives you, and what you hope to bring to the project.

Can’t volunteer right now?
Even from home you can make a real impact. Your donation helps fund the next project, keeps volunteers on the ground, and brings clean water and safe spaces to more children.
