Make a direct impact on the lives of abandoned and neglected children when you volunteer with our Child Care and AIDS Orphans Program in Swaziland.

As a volunteer in our Child Care and AIDS Orphans Program, you will work hands-on with orphaned and underprivileged children in rural areas throughout the small, picturesque country of Swaziland, which borders South Africa.

You will help provide basic care for street kids and children from broken homes, working with local orphanages and non-profits. These organizations offer shelter, medical assistance, education and other types of care for the thousands of displaced children in the country.

Volunteers with the Child Care and AIDS Orphans Program will work to promote positive educational, social, and health-related changes for rural children in various communities in Swaziland. You will cultivate a friendly learning environment through crafts, games and physical activities and help ensure that children receive proper care and attention.

As a volunteer you will help:
Provide basic care for children, making sure they are fed, clothed     and receive medical care
Organize activities with children to develop life skills
Teach English and basic skills to children
Improve shelter structures and build community gardens to develop     more food sources for children
