Volunteer In South Africa
Volunteer in South Africa
Look no further if you’re looking for a meaningful volunteer experience in the most developed and diverse heart of Africa! Volunteer in South Africa, and enjoy the best introduction to Africa against modern cities, world-renowned national parks, pristine beaches and fantastic wildlife while uplifting the lives of the people.
Located in the southern tip of the continent, South Africa is a superb introduction to Africa. With the most varied races of people, 11 different official languages and varyingly gorgeous topography, the country truly represents ‘Unity in Diversity’. The country may be the most developed country in the region, but its rich culture, flora and fauna, and its emergence from a turbulent past attract only more tourists each year. Despite the economy strength and tourism boost, there is a large side to South Africa that remains under-developed and impoverished, owing to various socio-political unrests and the hug gap between the rich and the poor. South Africa is one of the most unequal countries in the world, where lavish opulence and severe poverty exists side-by-side. The country is also still slowly recovering from apartheid, which lasted almost 46 years. New Hope Volunteer is working with local organizations to help alleviate the situation and empower the poor and the needy. There are plenty of volunteering opportunities in the fields of education, health and social services in South Africa that aids the impoverished masses join the mainstream economy. Our volunteer programs operate in various cities of South Africa including Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Albertinia, Knysna, Oudtshoorn & Riversdale. Get in touch with us today to volunteer in South Africa, and embark on a journey of a lifetime!

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. 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. In our program, except our registration fee of $279,which we need to advertise, cover office expense and pay salary, volunteers pay their money directly to the host family and project (or country coordinator). This ensures that 100% of your money goes for you.
In addition to our registration fee of $279, here you find the world's most affordable weekly program fee.

Accommodation/Meal/Supervision
New Hope Volunteers will arrange for the accommodation and meals throughout the volunteering duration in the South Africa program. Volunteers will either stay in a hostel or with host families. Our host families have all been carefully screened before being selected to participate in New Hope's volunteer programs. Our host families also have significant experience in accommodating international volunteers, and at least one member of the family will be able to communicate with you in English. Host families offer a warm, comfortable and safe home, where you will receive three local meals per day.
New Hope also offers extensive support for you so that you feel right at home while volunteering. The main person supporting you throughout your program will be our country coordinator in South Africa, who is also in-charge of your volunteer program. Whenever possible, the coordinator will call or visit you to see if you are happy and satisfied with your project. You will also have the coordinator's mobile phone number that you may call any time should an issue arise. Our project staff will also guide and help you throughout the program.
