💼 What the programme involves

Located in the World Heritage Site – Victoria Falls, volunteers have the opportunity to engage with the most affected children and take them through a healing and joyful moment through play and education. This is an amazing volunteering opportunity for those who need no other skills but an open heart and the willingness to work on programs that can make vulnerable children’s lives better. The program has a positive impact on the targeted children and youth. They face hardships through stigma and discrimination in the community and among their peers who often do not understand the disease yet. Volunteers are there to provide this emotional support and education to the rest of the young and children who are at risk of infection. Volunteers do this through school-based HIV/AIDS clubs targeting adolescent youth. Furthermore, volunteers would occasionally use sporting activities especially soccer one of the largest sports in Africa to educate young people on HIV.

🏠 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.
