Are These Projects Safe?
Yes! - As we employ whole teams in every destination; we know the local areas and communities inside out.
It's rare, but if any problems or illnesses were to arise, there'll always be trained staff and a dedicated supervisor available nearby to keep you safe and secure, 24/7.
We also carry out thorough risk assessments to ensure that all our project destinations are safe and politically stable. For more detailed information on how we keep you safe, read our approach to safety and backup.
