World's #1 Zambia Volunteer Programs from $22/day
Program Overview
Volunteers in Zambia, based in the town of Livingstone near Victoria Falls, can choose from a variety of meaningful projects that strengthen education, community wellbeing, healthcare, and local infrastructure. Opportunities include supporting teachers in classrooms, assisting with early childhood education, and helping run lessons in community schools that often rely on volunteer support. Volunteers interested in practical work can join construction and renovation efforts, helping build or improve classrooms, community centres, toilets, or other essential facilities that benefit local families.
There are also healthcare placements where volunteers assist local clinics under the guidance of qualified staff. Tasks may include supporting basic health services, helping with patient care, organising supplies, or assisting in maternity and community health settings. Another option is elderly care, where volunteers provide companionship, help with daily routines, and contribute to creating a more supportive environment for older residents.
Programs run year-round, and volunteers can commit from one to sixteen weeks.
