📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In the spirit of regional cooperation three sister voluntary inspired youth organisations namely UVIKUITA (Tanzania) South Africa Voluntary Workcamps Association (SAVWA-South Africa) and Zimbabwe Workcamps Association forged partnership for a regional camp which will last about 40 days starting at Dar es Salaam, moving to Zimbabwe ending in
South Africa. The primary objectives of the projects are multiple faceted namely regional integration, south-south youth exchange as well as building prosperous and peaceful Africa through youth empowerment, volunteerism and pan Africa exchange as well as scaling up global, regional and national actions to meet young people’s needs, realize their rights and tap their possibilities as agents of change.

💼 What the programme involves

will empower volunteers and communities in a remarkable manner.

In a nutshell the project will accord the young men and women a very rare opportunity to gain skills in gender, permaculture and agroecology, which are critical and essential in improving their livelihoods in their respective communities. The community may ask us to perform other necessary specific tasks outside the scope of our agreement. This is seen as a way of promoting community driven development.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated at Demberere Camping Site. Rooms are available to individual volunteers. Volunteers with special needs like seniors/ aged, families and physically challengedwill have special arrangements for their accommodations.

community. Volunteers are therefore advised to be flexible and open minded. This will make it
easy to negotiate entry into the community as volunteers.
