Why volunteering is a serious business
At Still I Rise we stand firmly against voluntourism. A union of “volunteerism” and “tourism,” voluntourism is a multi-billion dollar business that capitalizes on the needs of host communities in favor of the fulfillment of the volunteer and the economic interests of the organization. Voluntourism is not humanitarian aid but exploitation. That is why we promote volunteerism that is ethical, free and always in the best interest of the communities we serve. Join us!
