Pay directly to the projects and host families in South Africa
Help raise fund for poor orphans, schools and other NGO’s
Located in the southern tip of Africa, South Africa truly represents ‘Unity in Diversity’. Varied races of people, 11 different official languages and diverse landscapes add onto the diversity that this nation caters. Despite its strong economy, South Africans have had long struggles owing to various socio-political unrests and the huge gap between the haves and the have-nots.
New Hope Volunteers hosts volunteering opportunities in the fields of education, health and social services in South Africa which you can be a part of. Volunteer in South Africa to help the underserved masses join mainstream economy. Our volunteer programs operate in various cities of South Africa including Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Albertinia, Knysna, Oudtshoorn & Riversdale. Volunteer projects begin in Cape Town with orientation after which volunteers are transferred to placements in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Freestate Provinces.
New Hope Volunteer programs start on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month.
In recent years, volunteering has become more of a business than charity. Many organizations in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand run volunteering programs solely for profit. Please check Travellers Quest volunteer abroad in South Africa page for different organizations and their fees and you'll know for sure. But this is not the case with New Hope Volunteers. Our aim is to offer World’s Most Affordable volunteer program (without compromising the quality) so that all volunteers, irrespective of their income level, can volunteer to serve humanity and enrich their life. We hope to make the dreams of college students and budget travelers come true. In our program, except our registration fee of $259, which we need to advertise, cover office expense and pay salary, volunteers pay their money directly to the projects and host families (sometimes country coordinator will allocate this fee to project and host family, so if you have any question about allocation, please ask directly. This ensures that 100% of your money goes to the project.
In addition to our registration fee of $259, here you find the world’s most affordable weekly program fee, which includes room, food (3 times a day), project details and field support.
