Why Volunteer in Africa?

Volunteering in Africa is life changing. Not only does it help break down stereotypes and misconceptions about the continent and its people, it also provides a cultural exchange that benefits both you and the local community. Unfortunately, many African countries have struggled with instability and poverty, causing widespread issues like gender inequality and limited access to education. But, as global citizens, it’s our responsibility to make a positive impact and create lasting change.

That’s where volunteering in Africa comes in. Whether you’re interested in conservation work or want to make a difference in a local community, our programs offer a unique and transformative experience. So, come and join us on an adventure that will leave a lasting impact on both you and the communities you serve!

We Contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals serve as a guide to creating a better, more sustainable future for everyone. These goals tackle global issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental damage, and the need for peace and justice.

Every African Impact volunteer project contributes to one or more of these goals, addressing significant social and environmental challenges. Our mission goes beyond sustainability, aiming to offer a regenerative approach to travel and community service. We are dedicated to improving every place we visit, ensuring we leave it better than we found it.
