Community work in Africa
Of all the communities in the world, Africa’s wins the prize for the friendliest and most welcoming as well as the award for best smiles in a foreign country! It’s a testament to the resilience of the people that their humanity shines through a raft of social problems. The continent is more than a sum of its problems though, as you’ll find out if you do community work in Africa. With a huge diversity of countries, cultures, languages, traditions and beliefs, this is a place that defies expectations and definitions and doing community work in Africa is the most enjoyable way of finding that out.
From South Africa to Kenya via Tanzania, Ghana and Uganda, community work in Africa takes you up close to a variety of different cultures. Africa may be the second largest and second most populous continent in the world but it offers a set of experiences second to none. From Lake Victoria to the big five, rural idylls to bustling modern cities there is an awful lot to see when you do community work in Africa. Opportunities include working with children and teaching English to building houses. People who volunteer in Africa will make a significant difference to the lives of people here and help mitigate the effects of acute poverty and the AIDS epidemic.
