When it comes to volunteering in Africa, we are the experts. Our team of international and local staff on the ground run over 80 different volunteer programs in 10 different African countries, so we know first-hand what volunteering can achieve.
We believe in the power of responsible volunteering, which is why every project is run hand-in-hand with local communities and why you can be certain that you will have a safe, fun and rewarding experience in Africa with us!
Course Description
a typical day on this gap project
Our passionate team of volunteers are based in the bohemian suburb of Observatory, just a short drive from the centre of Cape Town.
Each day (Monday to Friday) you will be transferred to and from our cosy volunteer house to the community of Khayelitsha; South Africa's second largest township.
Every morning and afternoon, you will work alongside other volunteers in 2 different settings:
1. Pre-schools, where you will support local teachers to provide education to children aged 3 - 6 years old.
2. After-school programs, where disadvantaged children are offered a safe space to learn, play and grow during the unsafe hours when school closes.
Weekends consist of free time, where volunteers can explore the sights, climb Table Mountain, go skydiving, do cultural tours, visit incredible restaurants, or even just relax on one of the beautiful beaches!
