Often referred to as ‘the world in one country’, South Africa is a land of extraordinary beauty, magnificent wildlife and rich cultural diversity. It is also a country where the extremes of modern development and poverty live side by side. Volunteering in South Africa gives participants a first hand experience of a new nation working towards a vision of unity and prosperity. Many serious problems such as poverty, AIDS and inequality need to be tackled if this vision is to be realised, and this is where volunteers can make a real contribution. There are many important volunteer projects available, mostly near the beautiful city of Cape Town.
