Challenge Overview

This challenge will enable you to make a massive contribution to low-income families in and around Urubamba. A lack of knowledge of basic hygiene and sanitation practices among community members causes a lot of unnecessary illness and places a burden on their under-resourced hospital.

We’ll be asking you to help us deliver fun, educational workshops at local schools focusing on key health issues, health and wellbeing workshops, nutrition and physical activity workshops, and to use your ingenuity to infuse them with creativity and fun.

  • Inspire local children to learn more about health and wellbeing
  • Run fun workshops focused on hygiene, sanitation and health
  • Encourage hands-on learning and critical thinking skills

“Volunteering in Thailand has been an incredible experience that’s helped me grow so much. Working at the Elephant Nature Park was physically challenging, but it was such a fun and welcoming environment. I feel really inspired knowing that what we’ve done has contributed to a much wider positive impact.”
