Make a difference in children’s lives! Our experiences offer you the chance to work on structured, sustainable community projects in underprivileged communities throughout rural South Africa, giving you a unique opportunity to experience life through the eyes of the locals.
There are volunteer opportunities for you to help regardless of your background. If you’re a keen sportsperson you might want to coach sports in Ghana or South Africa. Alternatively you can work with specific communities like those in greater Kenton, South Africa, to bring education, support and sustainable development to some of the poorest communities in the country. All of our community projects work alongside community leaders and students to ensure that your work has a legacy, and continues to have a positive impact after you leave. Meaning you can return home knowing you’ve made a real difference.
Volunteers work alongside local community leaders to develop established and emerging educational, social community development projects. Each project is individually tailored to the needs of the community, and the skills and expertise you pass on can be used to sustain and develop future projects. By volunteering you’re fulfilling an important role in promoting the development of fully-fledged, well-informed citizens in South Africa’s emergent democracy.
