Help South Africa

South Africa is an all-out assault on the senses; from the Kruger National Park to the shanty towns of Johannesburg the country will grab hold of you and never let you go. Despite the great strides made after apartheid, some social problems remain and they are often cut along racial lines. By helping South Africa through a range of projects you can see for yourself one of the most remarkable recovery stories of modern history and say you played a part. Take a look at the range of projects we work with and find the best way that you can help South Africa.

Africa

South Africa is all things to all men; one moment wild expanses stretch as far as the eye can see and the next, sky scrapers crowd overhead. The life is no less wild in the cities; Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban are a riot of colour and noise, a celebration of freedom after years of frustration. Help South Africa and see life all over this fascinating country on conservation, wildlife, community and teaching projects. What’s more, the transport system is so good that even if you are based in one place when you come and help South Africa, you can explore the whole place while you’re here.
