Volunteer World International - 100% based in South Africa and pioneers of the bespoke and infinitely adaptable Volunteering Experience!
Here at Volunteer World International, we are looking to change the concepts behind ethical and sustainable volunteering and are based 100% in the country we know and love, South Africa.
To provide the most enriching volunteer experience possible, we give our volunteers the opportunity to pick from our catalog of amazing experiences or create their own tailor made experience with endless possibilities. Once we have listened to our volunteers requirements, we are then perfectly structured to be able to apply in-country specific knowledge to create and bring to you the perfect bespoke experience that fulfils every experience you could possibly be dreaming of! This also ensures that our projects receive the highest quality of volunteer, interested, keen and motivated to make a difference!
Other volunteer agencies may claim to know the product they are selling and being of most benefit to their projects, being based solely in the country of your visit, working closely with and understanding how our projects work and interact - we are one of the very few though that can guarantee we are in a position to achieve this.
We do not pay out a cent from our volunteers contributions to fund expensive and unnecessary local booking offices and staff or to employ in-country managers at the destination point for your visit meaning we guarantee highest possible funding and benefit to our partners vs our competitors. Our strength and ability comes from our reputation and extensive contact network within South Africa which enables us to bring you, the volunteer, everything you could dream of whilst at the same time providing maximum benefit to the good cause you are visiting.
We do what we know, understand and have immense knowledge of - South Africa, bringing maximum possible benefit to both our volunteers and our projects!
Life is about balance. On this basis, our aims are simple - to provide both our projects and volunteers within South Africa with a hugely enriching experience with maximum benefit to all involved!
We offer our volunteers the chance to fulfil their exact South African dreams.
Rather than only having the option of picking from a list of experiences from a catalog as with the vast majority of our competitors, through our vast local knowledge and contact list within South Africa we are thus able to listen to our volunteers and then create bespoke and personalised experiences for the individual. This service is of course offered in addition to VWIs fantastic catalog of projects!
From working with Lions in Limpopo to childcare in Cape Town and everything in-between, you name it, we will organise it from the minute you arrive till the moment you leave!
