A meaningful way to experience Sri Lanka.
Volunteer Tourism offers a different way to experience Sri Lanka.

Visitors can join carefully arranged experiences according to their interests, skills and abilities.

More Than Volunteering
The real value of Volunteer Tourism is the exchange of knowledge and experiences. While you contribute your time and skills, you also learn directly from Sri Lankan people, their culture, traditions, food, livelihoods, environment and everyday way of life. At Edutourism, we can combine volunteering with educational and cultural experiences—allowing you to spend part of your journey learning, part contributing, and part exploring Sri Lanka. Come to Sri Lanka. Volunteer. Learn. Experience. Make a Difference.
