Goromonzi
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Through its transformation agenda, our partner is constructing a multipurpose community center in Gusta Village, Goromonzi. The project aims to provide essential services to rural residents who currently endure long walks to access schools and clinics. As a youth-inspired organization, our partner has acquired 10 hectares of land with the goal of effecting positive change within local communities.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers who join this exciting international workcamp have the opportunity to immerse themselves in meaningful experiences within community-driven system change programs in Zimbabwe. Volunteers will participate in designing a youth-led community multipurpose center, as well as fencing and constructing two office blocks, along with spatial planning and land design.
The team of participants will be divided into two groups: eight volunteers will work on constructing the office blocks, sharing the same duties, while the other seven will focus on spatial planning and design. Roles will be rotated after agreed-upon days, allowing each volunteer to participate in both programs. We are collaborating with other international and regional partners on this noble project.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will reside with host families within the community, providing them with the opportunity to learn from local people and immerse themselves in their daily way of life. This arrangement fosters a deep understanding of the host community, allowing volunteers to share experiences and forge connections on a personal level.
🍲 Food
The host family will provide basic meals using locally available ingredients. Volunteers are encouraged to maintain flexibility and an open-minded attitude, as this will facilitate their integration into the community.

ℹ️ Additional information
Volunteer projects are situated in modest locations across Zimbabwe. The majority of our projects are not overly demanding; what is essential is flexibility, a positive mindset, and openness to new cultures and experiences. The key to maximizing your time while volunteering in Zimbabwe is to adapt to the local environment. It's important to emphasize that each project is unique, so volunteers should seize the opportunity to fully engage with the community they serve. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to work and live alongside people in their respective communities, just like them.
