African organizations 🌍

Many African organizations actively seek volunteers to support their diverse initiatives and projects. These organizations often rely on volunteers to make a meaningful impact in their communities. Photo: GhanaExchange

The organizations listed on this page offer volunteer opportunities for individuals passionate about contributing to Africa’s development and well-being. Volunteers can gain valuable experiences while making a positive impact on the continent’s communities, wildlife, and overall progress. Interested individuals should visit the respective organization’s websites to learn more about specific volunteer opportunities and application processes.

How to use this page 🔍
  • Click on the announcement you like.
  • Check the date it was posted to make sure it’s still valid.
  • Look for contact info (like a website, email, or phone number) in the ‘contact details’ section.
  • Send a message to the host or organization and wait for their reply.
You can volunteer in Africa as an independent traveller!

Some opportunities give you free food and a place to stay in exchange for your help. Others might ask you to pay for food and accommodation. Keep in mind that in some places in Africa, volunteering isn’t always completely free.

If you want to make a big impact in a short time, choose the opportunities that aren’t free. 🔍 Your money will support the NGOs, and you’ll help even more. Our website, Voluntouring, doesn’t work like a travel agency, so we don’t charge extra fees. That’s why the fees for volunteering, when they’re required, are usually lower than what you’d pay with other organizations.
