Be part of the Change
At Fundación Asha-Kiran, we understand volunteering as a chance to be part of change, to receive much more than you give, an opportunity for growth and mutual learning.
At Asha-Kiran, part of our mission is to mobilize citizens to respond to conditions of vulnerability around us which we can have an impact on through transformative initiatives. We understand the word “sharing” as a transforming action that enriches us all.
Our invitation to you is to participate as a volunteer for at least 3 months, so that there is time for your work to grow roots and bear fruit in the lives of the people you are going to support.
Asha-Kiran will draw up a volunteer agreement and provide accident insurance to our volunteers, thus sharing its mission and values and taking on specific responsibilities.
