Our Programs

Sustainable Livelihoods Program
This Volunteer program area focuses on developing sustainable livelihoods that are healthy, functional and which do not damage the ecosystems and natural environment. In an African community set-up, sustainable livelihoods are envisaged to address a broad spectrum of human needs holistically.

Through this program, volunteers are able to participate in change processes that impact positively on people’s lives. By providing new perspectives on initiating sustainable development, volunteers appreciate fully the need for participatory development for people to live with dignity. Moreover by encouraging functional interaction between volunteers and local communities a rich exchange of knowledge, wisdom and skills is achieved. Click to Apply

Community Health Program
Communities in the developing countries grapple with a high demand of Quality medical services in resource constrained health systems. Community health services range from mobile clinics, community health centers and private clinics. The support of health systems is fundamental for the realization of affordable quality health care services for communities.

Volunteers in the medical and nursing field may have superior training but may lack the kind of experience that health practitioners in the developing world have. In this program, participants with a medical background are able to get medical work opportunities that will transform their career. Volunteers get to have close interaction with local people on healthcare issues and are able to share their skills in medical support duties under the supervision of Registered Medical doctors, nurses and other health professionals.Click to Apply

Orphan & Vulnerable Children (OVC) Program
Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) are those who lost one or both of their parents and live with distant relatives or in child support institutions. In most cases the OVC live under deplorable environments which couple with their stressful background may lead to emotional, physical trauma and depression to these children.

Volunteers working under this program area get the opportunity to live with the children at orphanages, children homes and day care centers and offer them play therapy and other psychosocial support activities.  This brings a smile on their face and shows them the much love that they lack. By collaboration with our partners, we are able to improve the capacity of local communities to address the needs of OVC to address issues of child welfare by building capacities of local community OVC support systems.Click to Apply

HIV/AIDS Response Program
HIV/ AIDS is a development issue of great concern not only for developing countries but also for the developed world. This program addresses HIV/AIDS issues in the community by providing prevention, care and support activities aimed at mitigating the impact of this scourge.

Volunteers have a great opportunity of working with People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs), their families and communities. Participants will also have an opportunity to participate in workshops, support groups activities and income generating projects established by PLWHAs. Volunteers have to be ready to leave shed value judgments always associated with HIV/AIDS and fight to improve the Greater Involvement of Persons living with HIV/AIDS.Click to Apply

Education Support Program
Education is an important aspect of sustainable development. A society that is not learning and acquiring knowledge is bound to collapse. By supporting education systems that deliver basic education to children, youth and communities, this volunteer program ensures that noble ideas of “free” primary education on other tertiary education services are realized.

The demand for quality education outstrips the supply of professional to community education centers due to lack of proper compensation of teacher. Engaging volunteers in teaching and interacting with teaching professionals aids information transfer in enhancing the quality of services to the communities in need of teachers. Volunteers get to teach English and other languages that they are proficient with and also offer other education support services needed. Click to Apply

Animal Welfare Program
This program offers volunteers an opportunity to interact with communities that rear animals and appreciate animal husbandry, human-wildlife conflict management, wildlife care and support projects in the developing world. Volunteers are placed with professionals, communities in order to give them a rich understanding, develop their skills and experiences on animal healthcare and welfare activities.

By providing support to the communities, volunteers are able to appreciate the value of animals in an African community. Volunteers work with Veterinary professionals to diagnose poultry and livestock diseases, inspect, and investigate on cruelty cases to ensure humane treatment. This volunteer program relies on the understanding that community that is able to stock, breed and maintain healthy animal contribute heavily to the agriculture industry. Volunteer expertise in this area of work is highly sought bearing in mind that agriculture is the mainstay of most developing countries.Click to Apply

ICT & Media Program
ICT promotes capacities of communities to share their indigenous knowledge and skills for sustainable development. Volunteers will work with communities on ways of exploiting existing information and communication technologies to create and enhance community enterprise ventures. Moreover, local communities will be exposed to more learning opportunities, attention to their plight or success stories for funding support and replication in other developing countries.
The role of information and communication technology (ICT) in development cannot be overemphasized. ICT & Media program aims at promoting knowledge and information flow within communities to ensure that learning is an ongoing process in development. Informed communities are bound to make informed choices hedefining their perspectives in contemporary issues.Click to Apply

Fundraising will also enable you to raise awareness of your will to help people whom you will be working with in the project. In the African way of life are usually expected to carry a “basket” to show gratitude of   their visit. You may therefore need to buy toys, pens, books or gifts to please the children or gifts for your host family. It will also benefit you in creating rapport with the children. However, it is not mandatory and should come  “from of your heart”.

Fundraising may take you a while so you may need to allow six months or longer to meet your goals. You may raise adequate funds with dedication within reasonable time. Share your visit plans with your community back home to get the necessary support.

You can always contact us for more ideas on how you can fundraise for your trip.
