 Street Children/Youth at Risk
Trip code: ZAF3
This Street Children/Youth at Risk program is designed for kids that are walking on the streets and children that have become bad seeds. They involve themselves in drugs, stealing, robbing and other types of criminal mischief. They all have one major thing in common; these are mostly children with no parents. Rustic Volunteer Travel works with local partners with the goal of helping disadvantage children get into the school routine, give them support, and to show them that there is hope for them. Volunteers are sought to help build their self esteem and give them something they desperately need: love, care, and skills

| Project Locations: |
 Street Children projects are available in Cape Town (home to Table Mountain, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, and City Bowl). South Africa's multicultural metropolitan cities are renowned for its deep rooted African cultural atmosphere where visitors are always welcomed. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history to modern infrastructure and most of the amenities you would expect from a city. Volunteers can organize several combinations of potential excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place that the volunteers can use during weekends. For example: national parks & harbors, hiking, markets, museums, restaurants, nightclubs, festivals/carnivals, wine tasting, art galleries, whale watching, beaches, hotels, and many more.
