Volunteer with children & animals in South Africa

Planet

We are primarily a conservation education medium, using orphaned wildlife. This is spread to the local community, schools and the under-privileged through our sponsorship. We believe that responsible conservation comes from responsible education. It is all very well being taught about conservation, but to really make an impact there should be care and compassion, which is sadly lacking, particularly in the rural community who primarily see wild animals as a source of food and income, hence the large poaching problem.

Our animal orphanage is there to provide animals a safe haven to these creatures that cannot be released back into the wild for a number of reasons. Our staff, volunteers and children nurture and enrich the animals through a concept called stabling. In short it ensures the animals homes are clean and that they are disease free and very well fed. We thus operate well within the most ethical guidelines. In cases of attempts to rehabilitate we limited human-animal contact as much as possible.


The project doesn't have access to electricity and is mainly running with solar energy. This is also a way to show the local community about other clean source of energy.

By paying for your volunteer experience you will be supplying the means for us to support the orphaned wildlife and to sponsor the underprivileged. This in turn will increase education in conservation and give a better future to our local children and wildlife.

People

To support our community we educate the underprivileged children to care for their environment so they can benefit from their natural heritage. Our goal is to enable today’s local underprivileged children to eventually be able to secure good employment in nature reserves, thereby improving their future quality of life.
