Product Details

For applicants from the UK, we have a number of bursary schemes available for volunteers from a variety of backgrounds.

Our bursary scheme and funded placement projects reduce the barrier of cost for young people experiencing financial problems. They are designed to help young people who would not otherwise be able to afford to go.

For more information contact Liz McKenna on lmckenna@lattitude.org.uk

Your placement

Lattitude's caring placements in South Africa involve helping with or leading group activities, supervising the work and recreation of the residents, office work and perhaps driving. You could be working with children or adults with disabilities. You will support members of staff in occupational and physiotherapy departments and assisting with games, recreational activities, life-skills classes and numeracy lessons. Many children are only partly disabled and are capable of mental learning, physical activity, games, crafts and creative arts. A few children are in wheelchairs, but are able to get themselves about. Other activities of the job would be: assist in special classes with reading and English, help with music lessons, helping out in the office with administration.

All of the placements in which Lattitude operates are multicultural, they are normally co-educational and cover the full age spectrum. Many schools operate Outreach programmes in the wider community that will involve you. A Teaching Skills Course is necessary for all schools projects. You may well be working alongside other international volunteers.

Our users say...

"I choose to take a gap year four years ago and I’ve always dreamt of going to Africa. I researched for about a year and finally found what I wanted with GAP Activity Projects. The experience that I have had with them has been amazing. It all started with a briefing in Reading that was very informative. Then we went for a weeks training course in London, here I met most of the people that I would be going to South Africa with and I had a very enjoyable time making new friends and having the chance to experience leading an independent life away from home."
