community development in africa
a continent of riotous colour & cultural depth

There are few things that give a greater sense of achievement than rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in community development work. Volunteering in Africa on your gap year or career break gives you the opportunity to work in an orphanage, see what a difference you can make teaching at a local school and even introduce your own grassroots economic development project as you travel in Africa. Immerse yourself in the local community for an original, rewarding and exciting adventure meeting new friends and discovering a spellbinding new country by volunteering abroad.

Have a look at our community development programs for your perfect gap year in Africa and book yourself onto the adventure of a lifetime:
