    Mød din vært

    Our mission is to support development in North Sumatra by connecting dedicated volunteers with local community projects.

    Our vision is for equal opportunities in North Sumatra for everyone to succeed and thrive.

    Our goal at CareSumatra is to connect suitable community led projects with willing, capable volunteers in a way that benefits both parties. Together, we aim to offer life changing support to the children and adults at the community-led projects we partner, and also a life changing development opportunity for our selected volunteers.

    Our ultimate objective, however, is to support our wide range of projects with suitable volunteers to help them improve the quality of people's lives in their local area.
