Make a difference in South Africa
Chances are, at least once you’ve wanted to drop everything and head to a warm country to do something meaningful and kind. Volunteer programs in South Africa offer exactly that! Thousands of volunteers come here each year to take part in projects that make a real difference for local communities and the environment — and they do it for free.
Within the “Volunteer in South Africa” program you can choose a focus that suits you: teaching children in preschools and schools, environmental protection, animal rescue and rehabilitation, social support or working in healthcare.
Volunteers help African children and school students learn new things and inspire them to study and grow. Conservation and wildlife programs help preserve the region’s unique ecosystem. Social and medical projects provide support and care to people facing difficult life situations.
If you dream of a trip with purpose, want to discover South Africa’s amazing culture and nature, and make a real difference in someone’s life — join volunteer programs today!
