Community Development Project

This wonderful community development program aims to support children right from the start of their educational journey. Located in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, the program is dedicated to helping underprivileged children into a better future. International volunteers are unlikely to find a more amazing location than this to help make a difference to the lives of others.

Touted as the tourism capital of Africa, this area hosts an array of adventure tourism activities, the ‘Big Five’ wild life and of course, the majestic Victoria Falls.

Launched in 2014, the program provides access to early childhood support services for thousands of children in need aged from four to six years old. The program is acknowledged as such an essential and credible initiative! Early Childhood Development centers are supported through the project to deliver essential educational services to local children. A willing workforce of volunteers is needed to offer on the ground support through coordination, expertise and passion.

Project Highlights:

  • Interact and play with disadvantaged children in Zimbabwe
  • Facilitate programs and activities in early childhood centers
  • Stay with a wonderful host family and become immersed in the local culture
  • Visit the spectacular Victoria Falls and check out the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhino)
