There are various organisations offering grants and stipends to assist international volunteers with the living (and travel) expenses related to volunteering abroad, including volunteering with Pisco Sin Fronteras.

If you are interested in long term volunteering, we encourage you to apply for these and continue your own search, as this list is not complete. Please contact PSF administration for information that would be needed to write a concise and correct application.
