Take part in a volunteering programme in Namibia and experience South-West African life in immersion alongside local organizations who are active on site every day, making the world a better place!
The official language of Namibia is English. After a period of German colonization, Namibia became of province of South Africa before eventually gaining its independence in 1990.
Namibia boasts a wealth of cultures - Afrikaners, Germans, Herero, San, Kavango, Khoi-Khoi and Ovambo communities – as well as a diversity of mind-blowing natural landscapes. Don’t miss out on the country’s marvels, which you could discover after completing your volunteering mission: you could go hiking in the bush, walk through the moonscapes or the red sand dunes, observe mysterious fauna and flora, etc. This way, you will have an opportunity to help protect local wildlife while living amongst the locals.
Volunteering is a great way of discovering a new country as well as… yourself! This cultural and language exchange will be very rewarding! Sign up today for a volunteering programme in Namibia - a life-changing experience awaits you!
