On-site volunteering in Makeni.
Supervised, staff-led placements coordinated through CARDO’s Makeni office.
How on-site placements work
On-site placements are coordinated through CARDO in Makeni. Activities are supervised and staff-led, arranged according to the assignment, community priorities and travel conditions. Placements are typically proposed for 4 to 12 weeks, with the exact schedule, role requirements and logistics agreed with you before acceptance.
Costs are disclosed in writing before you accept a placement. We do not promise specific guesthouses, prices, free meals, free transport, medical arrangements or immigration outcomes on this page — ask for the full written cost and logistics schedule as part of your application review, and do not book travel until CARDO confirms your placement.
