Soweto Youth Initiative

You will have an opportunity to experience the true African way of life, have memories that you will never forget when having your weekend excursions and safaris.

Programs are many and suitable for volunteers from the age of 14yrs and above, high school and university students, professionals, couples', families with their children and adults of 50+years.

We will write you a good and official recommendation letter or a certificate of appreciation/recognition for your time and service to us.

Orientation of activities is done to understand all the programs we have in case you're flexible.

Our programs and activities encourage cultural interchange and community development.

On the first day, you will receive a comprehensive induction to your new town. A staff member will take you on a tour of the surrounding area (slum) and point out places that might be useful to you. You will also be taken to buy a local sim card or exchange currency if you need to. Highly supportive and collaborative team will be here to support you. You will not work alone. There will be an induction session to familiarize you with the project. No need to worry. It is also important to note that this is a social project and we ask volunteers to make a small contribution of $12 per day of stay to finance the organization and cater for meals. The sustainability of this project solely relies on donations.
