Pay directly to the projects and host families in Ecuador
Help to raise fund for poor orphanages, school, and other NGOs
In Ecuador you’ll encounter diverse landscape from fascinating jungles of Amazon, to snow capped peaks of Andean mountains to the island of Galapagos, where wildlife in diverse and most amazing form unlike anywhere else exist. Ecuador is also known for its colonial cities, Incan ruins, volcanoes and beautiful beaches. Because of this, thousands flock visit to Ecuador every month, but despite the growth of tourism, Ecuador is still an underdeveloped country, where volunteers can work in many projects to uplift lives of marginalized people.
With New Hope Volunteer’s programs, you can not only experience Ecuador but also work in volunteer projects alongside local people. Through our volunteer programs, we are supporting various projects like orphanage work, teaching in street and community schools, healthcare, awareness against HIV/AIDS and conservation project.

In recent years, volunteering has become more of a business than charity. Many organizations in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand run volunteering programs solely for profit. Please check Travellers Quest volunteer abroad in Ecuador page for different organizations and their fees and you'll know for sure. But this is not the case with New Hope Volunteers. Our aim is to offer World’s Most Affordable volunteer program (without compromising the quality) so that all volunteers, irrespective of their income level, can volunteer to serve humanity and enrich their life. We hope to make the dreams of college students and budget travelers come true. In our program, except our registration fee of $259, which we need to advertise, cover office expense and pay salary, volunteers pay their money directly to the projects and host families (sometimes country coordinator will allocate this fee to project and host family, so if you have any question about allocation, please ask directly. This ensures that 100% of your money goes to the project.
In addition to our registration fee of $259, here you find the world’s most affordable weekly program fee, which includes room, food (3 times a day), project details and field support.

New Hope Volunteers will arrange for the accommodation and meal of the volunteer throughout the program. Volunteers will stay either in a hostel or with a host family. In the hostel, you’ll share room with other volunteers and swap stories and experiences. Our host families have been carefully screened and chosen and they will have experience of hosting international volunteers before. The host families will provide you with a warm, comfortable and secure place to stay. You’ll have a room for yourself and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. Living with a host family will also provide you with a wonderful opportunity to learn about local culture and customs and make local friends. Volunteers will be served 3 local meals a day in both the hostel or with a host family. During the volunteer program, our country coordinator will be in touch with you every 10-15 days to make sure you’re comfortable and happy. Volunteers will also have access to coordinator’s mobile phone and can call up anytime if any problem arises.
