Childcare Volunteering with IVHQ in Zambia

With a significant portion of children living under the poverty line in Zambia, many of these vulnerable children suffer from poor hygiene, inadequate education, insufficient food and little healthcare. Individualized attention and a focus on early development and education are crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty in Zambia. Volunteers on the Childcare project work in childcare facilities for underprivileged children, nursery schools, or day cares centres. In addition to teaching, volunteer tasks include mentoring, helping with homework, meals, cleaning, helping with the general running of the home/facility and interacting with the children through games, singing, dancing, sports and arts and crafts.
