Description
Volunteers support our projects 5 days a week, from Monday to Friday. You can use the weekends for excursions and to relax. Depending on the project, you will be involved in various tasks for between 5-8 hours. These include break supervision, lesson planning for subjects such as English, mathematics or social studies. You will also help to serve meals. The children at our projects are usually socially disadvantaged, so it is important that they receive nutritious meals from us. With your commitment, you often bring a smile to their faces. So no matter whether you teach the kids the colors in English, dance with them, romp around, plan community games, sensitize them to socially relevant topics or help them find their place in life – you can be sure to be met with gratitude and make a lasting difference in their lives. So come and be part of our volunteer work in South Africa!

South Africa is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in South Africa all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
