About the project

Childcare – Victoria Falls

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The project is based in Victoria Falls at our offices which also act as a recreational hub for children and youth who lack basic community and educational services. It provides children and youth an opportunity not only to interact but access basic services to promote their social wellbeing. The idea of the centre is to keep children and youth out of risk places which they might otherwise find themselves in as a result of a lack of opportunities in safer places

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers on this program facilitate extra-curricular activities for children and youth through a child center which supports those who need it most. The idea of the centre is to provide recreational services to children and youth who do not have access to such services. The center also addresses issues of child abuse among other challenges as it is a safe home to deliberate and receive support from. Volunteers work together with representatives of the Victoria Falls Child Protection Committee and our staff to identify and resolve all child protection related issues. From this same centre, volunteers have an opportunity to engage in indoor and outdoor play games with children who occasionally visit the centre for play. It is basically an opportunity for international volunteers to appreciate initiatives around safeguarding the rights of children and their protection.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is provided in a choice or either a host family or at the Volunteer House which is located approximately 4kms from the city centre. The house provides spacious air-conditioned rooms to refresh volunteers from the heat out while they are undertaking their community work. Bedrooms are equipped with single beds accommodating at least a minimum of two and a maximum of four people per room. Volunteers should be aware that the room set up changes frequently and can expect to use bunk beds. We take great note of space and the comfort which our volunteers require after hard work out in the field. Our lounge is equipped with a spacious lounge suit and entertainment in the form of television set with a wide variety of international news and entertainment channels. Internet facilities are provided free of charge for volunteers 24hrs a day. However, it should be noted that this may be regulated or restricted in some instances depending on the daily usage but would generally be available all the time. At a host family, volunteers have the opportunity to immerse themselves into the real Zimbabwean culture and day to day life as they live in, eat and participate in host family activities. These host families are carefully selected based on a critical criterion to ensure basic comfort for our volunteers.
