    About the program

    When hearing about rescuing animals, pets like dogs and cats usually come to our minds. However, there are also an incredible number of farm animals that are victims of violence, abuse or neglect.

    This wonderful volunteer project takes place at a farm sanctuary in the Central Region of Chile. The Farm Sanctuary was officially founded back in 2016 and has since then taken care of farm animals and pets in need. The farm gives animals that have been neglected and abused a new loving home on 9 hectares of land. The animals are cared for, treated and pimped up again. They are not available for adoption but are allowed to spend the rest of their life at the farm sanctuary. More than 160 animals (number may change) of 15 different species have already found a safe and caring home at the sanctuary. Via social media, the farm sanctuary also makes a great contribution to educational work in relation to the respectful handling of farm animals and pets as well as a plant-based diet.

    Typical day

    Help neglected and abused animals "get back on their feet", so that they can live dignified lives. In this volunteer project you can stand up for the voiceless and show your big heart for animals. If you love animals and like to have animals around you all day long, then you will enjoy this volunteer work very much. However, please be aware that work can also be hard and exhausting. The tasks have to be done dutifully and carefully. The welfare of the animals comes first!

    Your tasks as a volunteer may include:
    1. Care of the animals
    2. Feeding the animals
    3. Ensure that the animals always have enough water
    4. Keep stables and enclosures clean
    5. Construction of new enclosures and corrals
    6. Improve/maintain existing facilities
    7. Administering medication and/or assisting with vet visits
    8. Assisting in fundraising campaigns
    9. Public relations and educational work
    10. Maintaining the social media channels

    Volunteers usually work from Monday to Friday between 8 am in the morning to 5 pm in the afternoon with a lunch break. Very motivated volunteers can also take shifts on the weekends to help with the feeding of the animals.

    Note: The tasks may vary. They depend on factors such as number of volunteers, weather, season, current needs of the project, as well as self-motivation. Not every volunteer may be fully involved in all these tasks.

    Limache is a cozy little town in the central region of the South American Andean country of Chile. It is about 35 kilometers from the famous port city of Valparaíso, which is very popular with tourists. Limache has about 40,000 inhabitants and the landscape is rural. The city is beautifully situated surrounded by mountains, hills and valleys.

    The area around Limache is one of the largest tomato growing areas in Chile. Limache is the third largest vegetable producer in Chile with 1023 hectares under cultivation.

    From Limache you can also quickly get to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar on the Pacific by public transport. Both cities are definitely worth seeing and invite to weekend trips. Santiago can also be easily reached in about 2 hours by public transport and a short trip to the metropolis offers a great contrast to life in the country.
