Volunteer


As a small but steadily growing organisation, there is always a need for help with the daily running. In order to be able to invest as much money as possible in the educational guidance for the children in the program, personnel costs are kept at a minimum.

Unfortunately, there is a shortage of qualified and affordable personnel in the area so we gratefully rely upon the support of volunteers to assist the permanent Born in Africa staff. The input of these volunteers is of vital importance for us since we can benefit from their experience, knowledge and never ending motivation to help with numerous projects. While most tasks are school or education related, we happily work with volunteers from different backgrounds.

Homework classes, after school activities, swimming lessons and camps would not be part of our programme if it weren’t for our volunteers. Volunteers are accommodated in our Born in Africa house during their stay at a reduced rental rate. Interested candidates start their application online and are selected based on their experience, background and motivation. We strive towards an open relationship with volunteers so we can reach a win-win situation whereby all parties benefit.

COVID-19 update We are happy to welcome fully vaccinated volunteers again in Plettenberg Bay from September 2021! It is the volunteer's own responsibility to adhere to all the COVID regulations while travelling and when in South Africa, as well as to have their own (international) health insurance.
