Much needed support
We like to work with volunteers! They often bring a fresh perspective and lots of energy! But unfortunately they also leave us after a certain time. In order to join Kids of Africa as a volunteer, a candidate must meet three minimum requirements:
- A volunteer should spend at least six months with us.
- He or she should have a professional qualification, which can be applied directly in the volunteering work. For example, we have worked with experienced teachers, farmers, carpenters, etc.
- They should be fluent in English and prepared to cover their own expenses (we will provide food and lodging in our village)
As an exception, we do sometimes have volunteers who join us for shorter time spans to accomplish certain projects, such as extending our playground or equipping our workshop. In any case, we would invite you to contact us if you’re interested in volunteering at Kids of Africa!
To apply, please send a curriculum vitae as well as a letter of motivation that explains why you want to go and what you hope to achieve. Your hobbies could be an important bit of information for us as we might find some skills useful that you might not even think about – in the context of our village.
When ready please send everything per e-mail to . Shortly you will be contacted to discuss next steps.
Our volunteers have achieved a lot for us:
- They have built our fantastic playground
- They have educated us in children and adult fitness
- They have trained our staff in "management by objective" and set up an administrative system
- They helped set up our organic farm and start milk production
- and they have given lots and lots and lots of love and hugs to all of our children!
