Looking to meet a child you sponsor? That's Meet Your Saathi, not volunteering. How visits work
How we keep children safe
- Never one to one. Every session is a group, with a Saath Foundation staff member or trained second adult on the call.
- Police verification for every volunteer who works with children, plus ID checks and two references.
- Safeguarding training and a signed Code of Conduct before your first session.
- No contact outside the session. Volunteers never get children's phone numbers, addresses or social media, and never share their own.
- No photos or recordings of children by volunteers.
- A clear way to raise a concern, for anyone, at any time.
From application to first session
We'll show you each step, and how long it usually takes, in your volunteer account.
No waiting without knowing why.
