    Over het programma

    All volunteers usually work alongside local staff or supervisors at the project and plan different activities with the children as well. All Social Welfare and childcare projects are keen to have volunteered so that they can bring in new ideas and also help the overburdened staff. The projects are located in Cape Town's townships and suburban areas which are socially disadvantaged areas of the city.

    The project is highly recommended for, both, short term and long term volunteers. Short term volunteers gain an insight into the local culture along with providing the much-needed help at the projects, while the volunteers who join for a longer period are able to make a greater impact on the community and the project they work in.

    Volunteers working for childcare and social welfare program in Cape Town will be expected to fulfill the following tasks on a daily basis;

    • Feeding, clothing and playing with the children
    • Assisting children with homework.
    • Meal preparation and assistance in general activities at the project.
    • Involve the children in art, craft, dance and drama activities.

    Who we are?

    Volunteering Solutions was established in 2006 with the aim of changing the face of volunteer traveling, and in the last 10 years, we have had more than 15,000 volunteers who completed their journeys with life changing experiences. Nicknamed as VolSol, we provide the best volunteer and intern opportunities to interested candidates from different parts of the world, and we ensure that each of them gets the maximum out of the program they choose.

    As an organization, we have a cross-cultural set up in all our offices across the world. We have people from different countries, cultures and ethnicities working for us in order to make the process of volunteer traveling smoother and more flexible.

    We have dedicated coordinators at each volunteer destination, coming from different countries.We take care of the volunteer’s placement, traveling, accommodation, meals and security. 

    What we do?

    Currently, Volunteering Solutions operates in more than 25 countries, providing more than 100 volunteering and interning options ranging from Child Care, Teaching, Medical and Healthcare, Community Development, Marine Conservation and much more. Most of our volunteers are high school students, couples, corporate groups and individuals on their summer break or gap year.

    We are in collaboration with NGOs, schools, hospitals, orphanages, HIV/AIDS clinics, women groups and other social welfare organizations all across the globe. Each of these organizations have been working at the grassroot level for years, and successfully contributed towards the development of the concerned people. VolSol has ensured that the contribution of every volunteer is counted, and there’s sustainable growth.

    Our mission/vision

    Our mission is to offer the most comprehensive volunteer abroad experience to travelers from all walks of life, with a vision to promote ethical and sustainable travelling. We aim to make a difference in the lives of the unprivileged people in different parts of the world and to bridge the gap between the volunteers and the host communities to establish a 'Win-Win' situation for both.

    Who are we looking for?

    Travelers who are flexible in their approach, dedicated to provide their time and effort, and determined to make a difference in the society. Our volunteers come from all walks of life; be it a high school student or a retired professor. Any and everyone can join our projects, as long as they have the determination to be the part of volunteering brigade. The minimum age requirement to join our programs is 17 years, while, there's no maximum age limit. One need not have any particular degree or qualification to join our programs, and all we look for is the dedication and flexibility in the volunteer. 

    Please Note: For our medical programs, volunteers need to be pre-med/medical/or certified doctors.

    Why choose us?

    Not only our placements are the safest, but also are one of the most affordable all over the world. Our credibility reflects from not only as a registered member of WYSE Travel Confederation, but also from the 11k+ satisfied volunteers whom we have placed in the last over a decade of our operations. 

    For the internship programs, participants opting for Medical and Healthcare projects get to work with professionals and learn how to deal in emergency situations. Our internship programs are crafted and designed in a way that every participant gets to know about the medical scenario of the particular country. It is both an inward and outward journey - inward, as you’ll get to learn a lot through first hand experience, and outward, as the society will be benefitted by your contribution.
