📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The project is based in Victoria Falls at the association’s 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 well-being. The idea of the center is to keep children and youth out of risk places where they might otherwise find themselves as a result of a lack of opportunities in safer places.
United Children of Africa (UNICA) is a nonpolitical and non-religious NGO governed by a board of Trust, made up of competent development practitioners coming from diverse backgrounds. UNICA work in collaboration with numerous partners and local volunteer to deliver educational, health care, and other support services to the community.
💼 What the programme involves
Scope of Work:
This project focuses on supporting Kindergarten education for children at a local rural school in Victoria Falls. Early Childhood Education is key to the promotion of cognitive, physical and social development of children in the first 1000 days of their lives. This project’s aim is to promote access to ECD services to children and promoting the education of ECD children through play. Volunteers in this project are engaged on a day-to-day basis with children in ECD as Teacher Assistants. They provide a conducive platform for children to access educational
services and promoting play as the pivot of education for children in this grade. Children in this grade are between the ages of 3 to 6 years of age. Volunteers have an opportunity to be innovative and initiate educational games for children as well as facilitating coloring and paintings. It is aproject for those volunteers who wish to be immersed in visionary artwork, painting and play (indoor or outdoor).
Working Schedule: Participants work around 8 hours a day from Monday to Friday. The lion’s share of our volunteer placements does not require volunteers to work on public holidays and weekends, unless highlighted or in the event of the need arising from the project.

Expectations from Projects: Volunteer projects take place in very humble places around Zimbabwe. The bulk of our projects are not that difficult at all, what is only needed is flexibility, positive mentally attitude as well as openness to new culture, new experience.
