GVI Rescue: Fast-Track Placements for Affected Volunteers (Ready in 2 Weeks)

If you were caught up in GVI’s liquidation and had a trip cancelled, we’re opening a fast-track placement route for affected volunteers. Confirmed within 48 hours of your booking. Ready to travel in as little as 2 weeks. Placements available across Asia, Africa and South America.

What we’re offering

GVI’s closure has left thousands of volunteers with cancelled programmes, uncertain refunds, and travel plans hanging in the balance. Some had trips booked for the next few weeks. Some had already flown out. All of them are trying to salvage a plan they’d spent months preparing for.

We can’t undo what’s happened, and we can’t refund your GVI booking — that’s the appointed liquidators. But we can help you do the one thing that still matters: save your dates and your cause.

The offer, in specifics

• Confirmed within 48 hours of your booking and documents.
• Ready to travel in as little as 2 weeks. (Ghana is the exception — visa processing needs longer.)
• Placements across Asia (India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Bali, Malaysia), Africa (Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Madagascar, Morocco) and South America (Peru, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Argentina).
• Matched to your original cause where possible — wildlife and marine conservation, teaching, childcare support, community development.
• Transparent, all-in pricing from around US$285/week, with accommodation, meals and in-country support included.
• A dedicated coordinator handling the switch-over from enquiry to safe return.

After a collapse like GVI’s, trust matters more than any glossy marketing.

We’ve operated since 2007 and supported more than 25,000 volunteers across 24 countries. Our reviews are on the public review platforms — not testimonial pages we control.

Whichever provider you choose next — us or someone else — those are the specific things worth checking for.
