What we especially like about Agape is that they directly manage their volunteer projects in Africa, ensuring that volunteers only work in projects that are beneficial to the local community and the volunteer. In addition to their volunteer projects, Agape offers a wide range of extra activities that can be added to your trip, including safaris and mountain climbing. And just to drive this point home because it is quite unique among volunteer programs, Agape offers free comprehensive travel insurance as standard with all of their packages.
