Placements

16 placements with this company...

The firm started in 2006 by Mathew Muckle and Catherine Muckle as Inspire Kenya. Since then we have recently expanded to Sri Lanka to conduct similar programs to the ones that operating in Kenya that have proven a great success.

Both Mathew and Catherine have spent many months volunteering themselves and have organised many personal projects in both countries as well as India and Nepal. The Inspire company was set up to provide the bridge to developing countries for like minded people to be able donate their skills and resources.

The goal is to send people with skills to Sri Lanka to benefit real places that really need them and have fun at the same time.

Inspire are not Gap year or voluntourism orientated. Unlike some major volunteer companies Inspire don't have sole contracts with their placements. Inspire believe this practice is unethical.

It means for example that a children's home has to sign a contract so no other volunteer companies can send people. This practice is clearly in the interest of the company but not always of the placement. This is a very important point that most volunteers overlook when decided who to use.

Inspire believe in informal, personal experiences so that people can interact with locals and live with them, thus gaining a greater understanding of developing countries and the issues affecting them on a daily basis. We believe in an honest up front approach so volunteers have all the necessary and accurate information before booking.
