Our experience in organizing Electives, Safaris as well as the eco-volunteer activities gives you an experience of a lifetime! Get hosted by native experts who are there from the pre-departure advice till airport drop-off when you bid us bye!

We started off from a noble idea of reaching out to communities around the globe with real medical needs by organizing elective placements to varying locations worldwide. Over the last decade, our operations have evolved and we are now the leading organizer of non polluting, environmentally friendly volunteer activities that go beyond our own needs of adventure.

We attribute our achievements to our ability to develop core doctrines over this period of operations. Much of which has been derived from our Hands-on experience gained in the medical practice both locally and internationally.

The main program differentiators are:

• Tailor made volunteer programs to suit each clients needs
• Flexible and hassle free travel arrangements
• Multiple volunteer destinations to choose from
• Professional and experienced staff  to hold your hand throughout the placement process
• Secure and comfortable accommodation with reliable housekeeping services
• Full support from our team at each destination

By running various eco-volunteer programs such as teaching arithmetic & English, deaf education, Environment & Wildlife conservation; Elective Abroad has been able to cater for the various client requests from diverse volunteer disciplines and backgrounds.

Working with communities, Governments & Non-governmental institutions in our program destinations, we provide our clients with a unique opportunity to participate in the various projects and trips to get a rewarding hands-on experience and have an opportunity to impact positively on the lives of the local communities.

At Elective Abroad, we then define eco-volunteer programs as those that are socially instigated and complement the need to have an activity break with a bit of philanthropy to Mother Nature.  These volunteer activities are environmentally friendly as they are defined with “non-pollutant minds”
