Projects Abroad is a global for-profit volunteer organisation. The UK company was founded in 1992 by Peter Slowe and operates in over 20 countries based in Africa, Asia, Europe, the South Pacific, and Latin America & the Caribbean. As of March 2019, the organisation had sent 115,000 volunteers abroad.

Volunteers have the option to work in Childcare, Conservation, Building, Teaching, and Sports Coaching Projects. Interns with the organisation can choose between Medicine & Healthcare, Journalism, Business, Law & Human Rights, Veterinary Medicine & Animal Care, Micro-finance and Social Work placements.

As of January 2018, the organisation began to minimise their work with orphanages, and focus on a community-based approach.
