Virtual Volunteering for South Africa<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our virtual volunteer program is an answer to the global Covid-19 crisis<\/a> and the associated travel bans, which make volunteering abroad currently impossible. However, especially because of the Covid-19 crisis, in South Africa the need for international volunteers is higher than ever before:<\/p>\n

Efforts to fight this unprecedented global crisis show how important international work experience is in order to solve the crisis across countries and continents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our virtual volunteer program aims at everyone, who can spare a few hours per week and who would like to make a meaningful contribution to fight the social and economic impact of the Corona Virus in South Africa.<\/p>\n

As part of your virtual volunteer placement you work from home and support non-profit organizations in South Africa in the development and management of crowdfunding campaigns to assist in civil society organisations in mitigating the social and economic impact of the Covid-10 crisis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The measures taken by the South African government such as a very strict Lockdown and international travel bans have proven to be very successful to prevent the explosion infections with the Corona Virus in South Africa. However, they have serious economic consequences – many people have lost their jobs, and the government’s rescue programs are not far reaching enough despite enormous efforts:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Food Security for South Africa\u2019s Poorest Population:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our project partners working in the field of social interventions urgently need support to organize soup kitchens and food packages for the increasing number of people without any income.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Support for Victims of Domestic Violence<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Our partners in the health sector report an increase in domestic violence, which affects children and women in particular. They need support to temporarily house and care for victims of domestic violence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Support for Wild Animal Sanctuaries<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Our partners in animal conservation, who are running sanctuaries for wild animals such as lions and other wild cats as well as monkeys, are usually funded up to 90% by entrance fees from international visitors, urgently need support to feed the animals in their care.\u00a0During these difficult times, our partners are more dependent than ever on international donations.As a volunteer, you make an important contribution to the fundraising efforts of our partners and thus also an important contribution to mitigate the economic and social consequences of the Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n
