    Over het programma

    Helping Hands Educate is based at the foot of the stunning Hlumu Hlumu Mountains in the Mpumalanga region of South Africa.

    We are the only Education Assistance Program offered in the province, and as such our work focuses mainly on the local community in and around our area. The majority of the local schools are desperate for help due to over sized classes and understaffing.    Rural schools face severe challenges that are unique to their environment.  A lack of parental interest in children's education, insufficient funding from the state, a lack of resources, underqualified teachers, and multi-grade teaching are some of the barriers to effective education. 

    The schools lack administrative systems, are not as organized as western schools, offer very little physical activities and classes can range up-to 50-70 children in one class.  It is impossible to split the classes due to the low numbers of teachers so this is how you as a volunteer can contribute and minimize a few of these challenges.

    The process to make a difference involves our volunteers working hand in hand with a qualified teacher for a few days.  Once confidence is built between yourself and your teacher you will be given the tasks to either teach a complete class, organize or facilitate a sporting activity, given tasks to assist the teacher or  teachers or just be morale support to both the educators and children.  Which ever it is and no matter what task you will be appreciated, loved and build very close relationships.

    Dagelijkse activiteiten

    There is no typical day and although many of the jobs are a daily necessity in keeping the children motivated and alert there is always a new experience or job that needs doing. We will ensure you will get involved and have fun while learning new skills, meeting new people and experiencing a new way of life all while making a huge difference to the children and educators.

    While you are a volunteer with us you will be treated as a professional member of the EDU team and it is important that you use your initiative and listen and learn. By all working together as a team we can achieve big things for the children.

    Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

    Volunteers get two days off per week to relax, hike the local mountains or waterfalls or visit the local resort (this is dependent on a vehicle being available to give you a lift and a petrol donation).

    Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

    Volunteers get two days off per week to relax, hike the local mountains or waterfalls or visit the local resort (this is dependent on a vehicle being available to give you a lift and a petrol donation).  

    You also have the opportunity to go to a waterfall about 30 minutes walk from Helping Hands or hike on the mountain Hlumu Hlumu ( approx. 2hours).
    Forever Resorts borders our property and is ideal for a day trip on one of your days off. They have natural hot spring pools, a water park, a spa and activities such as quad biking and horse riding. A R50 fee is required to cover petrol to drop you off and pick you up.

    The best of it all is, is that we have a Primate Rehabilitation Centre on the property with over 100 animals in our care.  There is also a volunteer program for this program which makes your time with us a true experience with regards to making friends, different interests and being able to diversify should you require to jump in and help the Primate volunteers.  We are presently busy with the incorporation of an equine program to confidently call Helping Hands a Volunteer Hub encouraging all facets of interest to offer to all volunteers.   

    Kruger National Park: It would be a shame to come all the way to Africa and miss out on seeing the Big 5 in their natural habitat.
    You can book a trip to Kruger through us of varying lengths (day trips, 1 night and 2 night stays) 

    The boarder to Swaziland is just 45 minutes drive from us. Once in Swaziland you can visit the famous glass blowing center at Ngwenya and numerous beautiful waterfalls and dams. 

    These are extra trips and can be arranged on site.

    If you arrive early into Nelspruit we can recommend a backpackers to stay overnight.
