    Om programmet

    Helping Hands Educate is based at the foot of the stunning Hlumu Hlumu Mountains in the Mpumalanga region of South Africa.

    We are the only Education Assistance Program offered in the province, and as such our work focuses mainly on the local community in and around our area. The majority of the local schools are desperate for help due to over sized classes and understaffing.    Rural schools face severe challenges that are unique to their environment.  A lack of parental interest in children's education, insufficient funding from the state, a lack of resources, underqualified teachers, and multi-grade teaching are some of the barriers to effective education. 

    The schools lack administrative systems, are not as organized as western schools, offer very little physical activities and classes can range up-to 50-70 children in one class.  It is impossible to split the classes due to the low numbers of teachers so this is how you as a volunteer can contribute and minimize a few of these challenges.

    The process to make a difference involves our volunteers working hand in hand with a qualified teacher for a few days.  Once confidence is built between yourself and your teacher you will be given the tasks to either teach a complete class, organize or facilitate a sporting activity, given tasks to assist the teacher or  teachers or just be morale support to both the educators and children.  Which ever it is and no matter what task you will be appreciated, loved and build very close relationships.

    Typisk dag

    Typisk dag

    There is no typical day and although many of the jobs are a daily necessity in keeping the children motivated and alert there is always a new experience or job that needs doing. We will ensure you will get involved and have fun while learning new skills, meeting new people and experiencing a new way of life all while making a huge difference to the children and educators.

    While you are a volunteer with us you will be treated as a professional member of the EDU team and it is important that you use your initiative and listen and learn. By all working together as a team we can achieve big things for the children.

    Volunteers get two days off per week to relax, hike the local mountains or waterfalls or visit the local resort (this is dependent on a vehicle being available to give you a lift and a petrol donation).

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    Volunteers get two days off per week to relax, hike the local mountains or waterfalls or visit the local resort (this is dependent on a vehicle being available to give you a lift and a petrol donation).  

    You also have the opportunity to go to a waterfall about 30 minutes walk from Helping Hands or hike on the mountain Hlumu Hlumu ( approx. 2hours).
    Forever Resorts borders our property and is ideal for a day trip on one of your days off. They have natural hot spring pools, a water park, a spa and activities such as quad biking and horse riding. A R50 fee is required to cover petrol to drop you off and pick you up.

    The best of it all is, is that we have a Primate Rehabilitation Centre on the property with over 100 animals in our care.  There is also a volunteer program for this program which makes your time with us a true experience with regards to making friends, different interests and being able to diversify should you require to jump in and help the Primate volunteers.  We are presently busy with the incorporation of an equine program to confidently call Helping Hands a Volunteer Hub encouraging all facets of interest to offer to all volunteers.   

    Kruger National Park: It would be a shame to come all the way to Africa and miss out on seeing the Big 5 in their natural habitat.
    You can book a trip to Kruger through us of varying lengths (day trips, 1 night and 2 night stays) 

    The boarder to Swaziland is just 45 minutes drive from us. Once in Swaziland you can visit the famous glass blowing center at Ngwenya and numerous beautiful waterfalls and dams. 

    These are extra trips and can be arranged on site.

    Om projektet

    Rehabilitation of animals to wildlife and life in the South African bush.

    Möt din programledare

    Helping Hands 4 Wildlife, formally known as DIY Wild (under new ownership since May 2021) is a wildlife rehabilitation association located in South Africa in the Mpumalanga region. It was created in 2012 by Sarah and Greg Mitchell in order to protect the unpopular vervet monkeys in this area.
    The association was created because there was no center for vervet monkeys in the Mpumalanga region. The monkeys were therefore euthanized. So now we have a place to take care of them and rehabilitate them into the wild so that they can be released in a more secure area. The association has now extended to all wounded, orphaned, or ex-pets. So we have baboons, antelopes, mongooses, predators type servals and all other species.

    Our main goal is to give back the freedom to the animals.

    We currently have more than 100 animals undergoing rehabilitation, which requires a lot of time and work. That's why we need volunteers all the time. Without the volunteers the association could not exist.
    The majority of animals arrive during the baby season (from November to February) because the mothers were killed for different reasons.

    During this time, you will be a foster mom for babies . So you  will need to bottle feed them, look after them, and take care of them as a mother would do with her child. Depending on the age and situation, we may ask you to sleep with them and to be a permanent mother or father for them which is an incredible experience to live.
    For the rest of the year, you will be involved in the routine (feeding and cleaning) but aslo other projects as helping in the garden, building new cages, making enrichment, ...

    Our association is based in the Mpumalanga bush near Badplass, about 1.30 hours from Nelspruit and about 2 hours from Kruger Park where you can go see the big 5.
    Being far from everything, we live as a community which is also an experience. Relearn how to live together, working for the same goal.

    If you love animal protection, nature and want to give your time for a cause you care about or for the experience, Helping Hands 4 Wildlife is the perfect place to volunteer.
