Yes, we proactively recruit volunteers from the communities where we work.
Unfortunately, we are unable to recruit international volunteers due to government restrictions on expatriate employment.
Local volunteers do not need to pay the programme fee. They are however responsible for their transport, accommodation, upkeep, insurance and other incidentals.
You can only volunteer for up to a month. Any volunteering beyond 4 weeks could be considered employment and you would have to formally submit an application and undergo the formal recruitment process.

We accept donations in all major currencies. This includes US Dollar, Euro, Pound Sterling and South African Rand. We also accept donations in Malawi Kwacha.

We do not pay salaries to interns. However, they receive a small stipend to cover their transportation. Refreshments are also provided during working hours.
