About Program

Impact the lives of school students in the rural areas of Livingstone through sports. Educate and train the students about sports, physical wellness, fitness and nutrition, which will help them stay active and appreciate the importance of exercise. Physical Education is given less emphasis or even neglected in Zambia's school curriculum due to insufficient resources as well as lack of teachers and skilled sports coaches. Volunteering for the students is a rewarding experience as you see them improve their mental and physical health, self-confidence, and develop teamwork skills to guide them.

Get the most of your volunteer experience as you explore the culture Livingstone, and the thrilling adventures it has to offer. You'll have the chance to experience ultimate white water rafting, bungee jumping, swimming in "Devil's Pool" and going on river safaris.

Join African Impact for a unique volunteer experience.

Impact 🌎

Ensuring that our projects are making a viable impact in local communities and contribute sustainably to conservation is our priority. We believe that volunteering is very much a two-way thing which brings value to both the local people and wildlife and the volunteers themselves, who benefit from an authentic cultural exchange and knowledge transfer about a new country, its environment and threats facing its animals.
Responsible travel is about travellers making informed and responsible choices, and planning trips which have a positive impact on the country they’re visiting. Through careful planning, we seek to have a positive and sustainable impact on the social, cultural and physical environment at each of our project bases.
