ChildCare and Orphanage Care Volunteer Opportunities needed for
1 to 3 months
Opportunity Description:
NGO run orphanage/children’s home in Africa is full to the brim with children. With limited staff, resources and facilities, they are struggling to provide care, love and support to orphaned children. Being hugely understaffed, they have few learning or extra-curricular activities. Hope Development Volunteers through its domestic and international volunteers is able to provide this struggling orphanage with support and help. These could be in the form of improving their existing facilities, assisting the staff, teaching and helping with the general running and administration of the orphanage/children’s home. Volunteers usually help in refurbishing existing buildings, improving facilities, teaching Basic English, drawing, drama, conducting games etc.
At this orphanage and children’s home you are typically greeted with big hugs, toothless smiles and children curious to touch and get your attention. These children are here due to poverty, disabilities, and homelessness and also as the only way to attend school. Through HDV caring for orphans and children’s home programs you can make a lasting difference in these young lives. You can care for children in many ways. Often no special skills are required, as volunteers are needed to spend time playing, reading, exercising and share time with the children. Since the host project is short-staffed and the volunteers’ attention gives the children the extra love they need.
The need is expansive and long-term, so your opportunity to make a significant difference through service is likewise immeasurable. You can help expand and maintain residential training and daycare facilities or help host staff conduct recreational activities, teach classes and serve meals. If you have first-hand experience working with children with disabilities, professionally or personally, your expertise can be especially useful in this project. You can also provide direct services to deaf or mentally challenged children. No matter what your age, background, gender or ability, you can be a valuable resource to demonstrate the universal language of love, compassion and make a difference to the children’s’ lives!
Hope Development Volunteers supports several projects in remote village districts Africa. The children’s home are attached to the sister projects run by our partners. Due to the remoteness of our projects in Africa, our sister project is currently trying to raise funds for a vehicle. HDV is looking to place volunteers to live and teach at the school and also assist at the orphanage. Placement duration is a minimum of 4-8 weeks. Please contact volunteer coordinator for more placement start dates.

Mission Statement: (See Web Site For Updated Information)
Hope Development Volunteers supports organizations committed to the development of Africa
We empower African projects by linking international volunteers to them.
Thousands of people are anxious to donate their time and abilities but become frustrated because they don’t know where their talents are needed. At the same time, hundreds of African non-profit organizations are seeking competent volunteers to enable them to carry on their very important work. As a service organization, HDV has a dual role: providing the solutions for both the volunteer and the not-for-profit organizations. HDV is, in fact, a matchmaker.
We assure a good organization-volunteer match by gathering pertinent information about both prospective volunteers and non-profit organizations.
Whether you are looking for a change of career, a year-out, a chance to improve your skills and experience or you are an organization looking for a volunteer, we can help.
