Not for profit organisations such as schools, community projects and hospitals.
Projects supported by local Christian communities.
Teams wanted for community building projects in South Africa. The Gateway Project, based in Pietermaritzburg, is looking for teams of Christian volunteers to help with practical work such as renovation and building work for various poverty-alleviating projects. Cost for one month: £2500.
Experience of DIY or the building industry would be most helpful although most important is a serving attitude and an openness to learn. Visit of two weeks upwards by teams are provided with good accommodation, modern amenities, food, training, materials and transport. Teams stay in the cell block accommodation on the site of The Old Prison where Project Gateway is based. Built into the project are opportunities for volunteers to visit Lesotho, game parks or abseiling or other activities that the teams may wish to participate in. Teams can also get involved helping in Gateway Christian School, Esther House (a women’s refuge) as well as helping with local feeding schemes in the local community. Gateway organizes a three day safari and beach trip for an extra £200 – very popular!
Cost: One month, £2500 per person. Reductions for groups. The total cost includes air fares, visa, insurance, accommodation, subsistence and the Christians Abroad administration fee. Please be aware that air fares vary a lot according to season.
Christians Abroad has not yet been able to recruit volunteers for this project but is confident that it is a well run organisation.
