Problem

Arab travellers who want to volunteer abroad find scattered, English-only information, and agencies that charge for what hosts offer in exchange for work.

What shipped

Destinations, a host guide and an application flow, Arabic-first and right-to-left with an English toggle.

A visa checker and a cost calculator driven by one bilingual content file.

A web build on Vercel and Android previews from the same Expo code.
