Volunteer Programs in Zambia

The Republic of Zambia was once known as Northern Rhodesia, and was part of the British Empire before gaining independence in 1964. It is truly one of Africa’s success stories, relatively stable and peaceful and has a government that works much better than most in a part of Africa known for civil violence and corruption. But political stability does not mean it is without problems. Wildlife poaching is rampant, threatening multiple species, only slightly more than half the population has reliable access to clean water, education, especially for women, lags, and the HIV/AIDS infection rate is high. Therefore, there are many social issues which lead to opportunities for volunteering in

Volunteering in South Africa was a dream come true!

I am beyond grateful for my 1-month volunteer experience with African Impact in Cape Town. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and professionalism of the team made it unforgettable. When I first arrived at the airport, Thulani, the program manager, was already waiting, and ready to give us an engaging introduction to the history and scenery of Cape Town. After a 20+ min drive we arrived at The Lenox hostel. The Lenox became my home for the month, and the staff made sure it felt that way. Every...

Why Volunteer Abroad in Zambia

Due to Zambia’s stability and its progress in reforming its economy and social institutions, and because it is a relatively compact country (about the size of Texas) with a solid urban center, there is a chance for volunteers to witness the real progress they are making as a volunteer in Zambia overtime. Aid organizations that operate in Zambia have the freedom to focus on their mission without fear of government disruption or violence against their workers, the same cannot be said about organizations in all African nations. Zambia is also a good choice for those without extensive language skills. Though there are over 70 languages and dialects spoken in the country, the official language of Zambia is English, and it is used in all schools, businesses, and medical facilities.
