ICYE does not offer volunteering opportunities in orphanages:

  • Orphanage volunteering Is contributing to a global industry that is separating children from their families.v
  • The practice of orphanage volunteering poses huge child protection risks.
  • Orphanage volunteering contributes to attachment disorder.

For ICYE, the wellbeing of children is in the centre of our safeguarding work. Volunteers who want to engage in social work with children can do so in many other ways.
