About Program
Get the opportunity to live and work with over 41 children (and growing) at Run orphanage. With ever increasing numbers of children arriving at this small orphanage, extra hands, eyes and ideas for activities are always needed to help maintain order, fun and learning! Living on site with your fellow volunteers and with everything in hand you can truly relax and soak up the African culture and traditions from the comfort of your new home.
There is a huge need for assisting orphans and vulnerable children living in this children's home. These children are in need of love and attention. Many of them are developmentally delayed and need extra attention in order to promote their development. The children's ages range mainly between 4 and 15 years. Many of these children have challenges, so being understanding and patient is very important in working with them.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
