Volunteer Travel South Africa

Orphanage/Disadvantaged Children

South Africa has a lot of orphans who have been affected by the AIDS virus as well as poverty. An orphanage can seem like a sad place, but for some South African children, orphanages provide refuge from the harsh conditions of the streets. It is a place where they can laugh, learn, and grow—an opportunity to experience the childhood they never really had. Rustic Volunteer Travel is presently collaborating with more than ten local orphanages in the different parts of the city of Cape Town to supply volunteers who possess the skill sets to provide the education, compassion, and friendship these children lacked while living on the streets. Your role as a volunteer can help make a difference in these children's lives.
