Description

Eco Village Immersive Experience

A Nourish Immersive Experience is about immersing yourself into the day to day operations and running of the programme associated with your chosen field. You will spend your day working with the team, learning from them and having an amazing experience! The work is very hand-on, so expect to be busy but remember to have fun!


Our social impact rests of three foundation pillars, resilience, sustainability and conservation. All our outcomes are aligned with and measured against Agenda 2030 and the UN SDGs. 

Your time with us alongside our projects will have a direct impact on these Sustainable Development Goals

You will experience:

  • How The Nourish Foundation works within wildlife communities
  • Ethical Sustainable Development
  • Community and organisation relationships
  • Small business development


We have a programming structure at Nourish as follows:

- Green Kidz (our environmental education programme)

- Social Enterprise, where we support and grow small businesses through an incubator

- Agro-Ecology training, very similar to permaculture, but more suited to African conditions

- Rise creches (Our Early Childhood Development programme. We support 6 pre-schools around the area)

- Eco Village (this includes our recycling programme and our general day to day outreach into the village around us).


Not only will you stay in a magical place dedicated to helping the community, but you will also be surrounded by some of the most beautiful places in South Africa. Explore these and other locations in the province on weekends. Witness the Big 5 in Kruger National Park or check out Blyde River Canyon.

Nourish Eco Village is based in the rural community of Sigagule. It is structured to be a learning experience for everyone involved, from staff to volunteers. Working hours is from Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm with an amazing team. Our entire team is very knowledgeable in their fields, so take the time to learn from and add value to your program.

We welcome you into our Nourish family for a minimum of 2 weeks and as long as you would like to stay with us!

100% of your payment will go to our Nourish Foundation to help us to run all of our programs.
