Love Volunteers is a not-for-profit organisation that provides fun, rewarding, safe and affordable volunteering opportunities in developing countries around the world.
Volunteering in South Africa is an incredibly rewarding and worthwhile experience. A country which is healing after years of division, South Africa offers volunteers a unique experience to live within the local community. Our South African partner is dedicated to providing high quality, affordable international volunteering. The well-established team has played a crucial role in helping the local community for almost 40 years. Based in Cape Town they will assist in making your volunteer experience the most memorable yet!
Health and medical projects can be a very challenging environment where volunteers work in local community clinics and day hospitals. Background or exposure in the medical field is required. Duties vary from day to day. It is important that volunteers understand the local South African health situation and the challenges that it is faced with.
Volunteers need to be extremely open-minded and flexible in their approach to this type of placement. They must be willing to give any basic help needed. Initially it will take a while for them to get to know the staff and understand the limitations. The staff will assess the volunteers and they will be given more to do once they find their way around basic activities.
Volunteers undertaking health placements can choose between local clinics and HIV/AIDS awareness programs. Applicants must be at least 20 years of age.
