Help the hungry child

HELP CHILDREN IN AFRICA BY TEACHING VITAL EARLY CHILDHOOD SKILLS IN CARE CENTERS AND SCHOOLS

Imagine yourself sitting with young children in Africa, working with a local teacher to play a fun, educational game. Or picture yourself in a daycare center, planning classes with the teacher, and sharing anecdotes from the previous day. You can do this and much more when you volunteer in Africa with children. 

On our childcare volunteer programs in Africa, you can: 

• Volunteer at a daycare center or school
• Work alongside local staff who are passionate about promoting education and the well-being of each child 
• Learn about early childhood development and the challenges children face every day
• Choose to volunteer with children who have special needs, and support their caregivers 
• Meet volunteers and interns from around the world
• Live with a local host family, or in pre-arranged, comfortable accommodation

By working with children in Africa, you’ll leave your placement with a new perspective and a deeper understanding of the country you worked in. It’s an opportunity to discover what you’re capable of and add real-world experience to your resume.

I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it, thinking it would be good for my personal growth and it would be a chance to see a new country. I never expected to have one of the best two weeks of my life, make new friends, and gain confidence and a better understanding of the challenging conditions many people live in. - Eloise G, Childcare & Community High School Special in South Africa
