You will help look after the animals and help set up similar projects with families in the community.   

    There will be other projects that we are working on and you could end up turning your hand to anything!

    Typisk dag

    A typical day will involve feeding poultry, cleaning fowl run, working in the vegetable garden, checking bee hives, helping planning and setting up new projects.  Running our community shop and going out into the community setting up income generating projects.  We tend to have an early start 6am (this is mainly due to the temperature in the area later in the day). Breakfast and meeting around 8am, with lunch around 1pm.  There are breaks during the day, especially during the hottest months.  The day finishes around 6pm and ends with an evening meal.

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    We are in a very rural area, most of the time we make up our own entertainment, chill out in the evenings around a fire, bbq (braai), exchange stories & play games. You can explore the local township and visit the local river and there is the possibility for some local fishing.

    Om projektet

    Come and experience rural Zimbabwe while working with vulnerable local communities, widows, schools, orphans and vulnerable children.

    Mød din vært

    We are a young Trust working in rural Sanyati and need your help setting up and helping run some of our community projects. We also get involved in building and refurbishing projects.  You do not need any particular skills, just a willingness to get your hands dirty, get involved & be flexible.  Things will and do change!

    You will be able to visit some of the people we are working with in their homes and see how the projects are making a real difference in their lives.   Also visit and maybe do some work in local schools, find out from the teachers and students what rural schooling is like in Zimbabwe.

    WARNING: We are in a very rural setting, with very basic accommodation and utilities.  We have solar power, running cold water (cold shower is available & can heat up water for you to wash with if you wish).  We eat from the land (no MacBurger King here!!).  Internet is limited, as is phone reception, so if you want all mod cons this is not for you, but if you want a real rural experience then look no further!

We learned so much about gardening, construction, social work and taking care of animals. We also learned how to be ...
