Make a Difference in a Child's Life

Globally, childhood poverty continues to be one of the most troubling concerns of the modern age. Nowhere is the problem more pervasive and prevalent than in the various nations that make up the continent of Africa. In fact, according the World Health Organization nearly all of the 25,000 children under five that die each day live in an African country. With all the technological advances and available resources that the world has, it’s up to everyone to help quell some of the suffering. No child anywhere deserves to be without shelter, food, water, love and a decent education.

Now more than ever individual people can make a difference in the life of a child by volunteering in one of the many organizations heading up charitable social, economic, and environmental preservation projects. If you’re looking to explore the world with some of your free time this summer there’s a lot worse ways to do it. Not only would you be benefiting and empowering the life of an impoverished child, you’ll receive the rare opportunity to meet people in a different culture and learn firsthand what their lives are really like.

Volunteering for one of these organizations provides you with an impossibly inexpensive way to experience and give back to the global community. More people choose Volunteer Southern Africa over all other companies as their gateway to those who need help because they can successfully connect volunteers from across the globe with valuable service projects ranging from caring for big cats, rescuing wayward penguins, and caring for the many orphans from various regions in South Africa. While travel expenses are left up to the volunteer (you), all other accommodations including clean, sanitary facilities as well as food and water are provided by the organization.
