Projects Abroad Reviews 

The experience was really eye-opening for me. It gave me amazing insight into what it is like to be a part of the Nepalese health care system. I would definitely choose Projects Abroad again if I could.

Good service
I was able to go to various hospitals, and they responded quickly when I contacted them on my smartphone.
However, the schedule often changed, so I wish they had informed me in advance. Also, I wish they had provided a support person when visiting the hospital.

My son gained a tremendous amount from his time in Ghana with Projects Abroad, making new friends and learning a new culture. He is now looking at how to build bridges with Ghana after this fantastic experience.

We sent our teenage son (16) for 2 weeks to the Taricaya Reserve in the Amazon jungle in Peru. We availed of the Projects Abroad chaperone service which gave us great peace of mind. Prior to him leaving, Projects Abroad replied quickly to any queries we had. They’re very organised and efficient. He was very well looked after from start to finish. He felt so safe and we had no concerns about his well-being while he was away. He really liked the team in his project and found it to be a really enriching experience. He learnt so much about life in the Amazon and came home with a deeper appreciation of the natural world. He loved seeing parrots, monkeys and other animals in their natural habitat. He had great stories for us when he got home!
I would have no hesitancy in recommending the Projects Abroad program for teenagers, it’s just wonderful.

Being able to explore the town and observe all of the wildlife was a once in a lifetime experience that I couldn’t recommend more. The host family was very hospitable and the staff at the reserve was very kind. The only issue I had was with the showers at the reserve, since some have very low hot water pressure which made it hard to wash my hair. I would recommend bringing dry shampoo.

Our son had a fantastic time in the Galápagos Islands!! We weren’t sure to send him there when he asked us, as it’s far away from the UK, however Projects Abroad’s Jessica gave us lots of information whenever we contacted her to ensure everything went well. Also, it was so nice that a Projects Abroad chaperone, Marie, went there from London together with them as I was concerned for children to go by themselves as there were two flight transits in Columbia and Ecuador.
Overall, our son had a fantastic experience and great opportunity to make friends from many countries while doing worthwhile conservation projects. Thank you so much!!

It was just two weeks, but every day was fulfilling, and it became the best two weeks of my life. The staff and the members were all amazing, and I just had an incredibly fun experience.

We had a great group of people. Nice to do something useful

The people, the desitnation, and the activities all made my trip increadible.

This experience is awsome for a lot of reasons ;

First things first, Peru is a beautiful country, and the Amazionian rain forest is one of the most beautiful things i've seen in my entire life. At the Taricaya reserve, I felt useful and not like a random tourist, i felt like i was doing something really meaningful.
Everyone at the reserve was nice and friendly, and wanted to share their knowledge with us.
I did many things and different activities, from farming to building, or feeding the animals... Thank you to Taricaya Eco Reserve and Projects abroad for this amazing experience !

The project Galapagos conservation is not the quality that I thought. The activities were very poor and overrated in the description on the website. Beside that I think that free time could be better quality in the way we could spent time in a more fruitful way. At the end of all we mostly fed the giant turtle and cleaned the invasive plants. The project could have been more engaging and productive

The communication and organisation was excellent from start to finish.

Experience with project abroad was very good as staff in Nepal were very helpful including the host family provided were very friendly and trustworthy. Placement in alka hospitals was very exciting as I was able to visit many departments.

This was an unforgettable experience for me. It was my first time visiting a developing country, and I was surprised to see that even basic infrastructure like traffic lights and roads weren’t in place. At the elementary school we visited, there were no windows or doors, yet the children were more full of life and energy than in any country I’ve seen before. Their spirit gave me energy too.

Fantastic staff at the Soysambu Conservancy!

brilliant experience. my son had the best time with amazing opportunities. it felt so safe and well organised and would recommend this for all young people

I was treated very well by the co-ordinators, incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my journey and overall experience straightforward with no stress. The rhino conservation project will be a memory to never forget, being in the forest seeing all the mammals and birds in their natural habitat was a privilege.

I participated in a Microfinance project in Tanzania for two months, and simply put, it was a truly unforgettable, enriching, and joyful experience.

As part of the activities, I joined the Microfinance team to visit women's groups, conducted business interviews, and gave presentations to support their group enterprises. We also had opportunities to teach at local schools and juvenile detention centers, offering diverse and meaningful encounters.

While I felt some uncertainty in unfamiliar environments, every staff member and my host family in Tanzania provided warm support throughout my stay, making each day comfortable and fulfilling. I'm especially grateful for how the team encouraged me to pursue what I truly wanted to do within the project—including their kind cooperation in a crowdfunding initiative I ran independently.

The connections I built with local people have become invaluable treasures. Outside of the project work, I also met many wonderful people during everyday life and sightseeing, which made me fall even more in love with Tanzania.

Of course, there were difficult moments and harsh realities, but they served as eye-opening experiences that reshaped my perspective and taught me many essential human lessons.

I sincerely hope more people get the chance to experience this incredible journey in Tanzania. Personally, I recommend staying for at least one and a half months to truly immerse yourself in everything the experience has to offer.

Best time ever made loads of new friends and leaders were wonderful

An amazing experience overall. The coordinators were nice and the house we were located in was perfect. More over at the school it was impressive experience as we could really be with the kids and build a true relationship with them. Thank you, Project Abroad for this journey!
