Our Grassroots Approach

In many countries, IFRE works directly with the local orphanage, schools, NGO, and youth groups. Rather than running our program through a middle man, we directly send payment to local orphanages, schools, and hospitals. This way, we not only cut our price but also send financial support to grass root organizations. This ensures the best use of your money

Our Experience

IFRE has been running its volunteer abroad program for the past 3 years. So far we have placed more than 800 volunteers successfully as of 2007. Nearly 99% of our volunteers were very happy (please ask us for the references of the past volunteers). We offer a thorough, well-rounded, and successful volunteer program which often meets and exceeds the expectations of participants with company-wide expertise.
