About Program
Volunteers serving with Hands at Work are able to encourage and support our local communities by their very presence. The skills and abilities that you bring with you can be used to empower and equip people. The metaphor we use to describe our volunteers working in community projects across southern Africa is scaffolding: temporary, yet essential aides in building a project and leaving it stronger than upon arrival. Volunteers arrive at our Service Centres for varying lengths of time and serve local workers in a variety of areas, always maintaining the goal of building the Centre's capacity to effectively care for the poor and vulnerable and supporting local ownership and sustainability.
