Help and build a better future for children.
Unmute in video player.
The need is great. The informal daycare centers in the townships of South Africa often consist of nothing more than rusty, leaky and poorly insulated huts and are anything but child-friendly.
You can change that. Help build a colorful and child-friendly environment for the children and become part of an outreach team.
Volunteers tell
Your help
We are building new daycare centers in South Africa. We are looking for participants with a heart for children and a willingness to lend a hand.
The mission begins for you and your team months in advance with the collection of the necessary funds. The aim is to cover the project costs as a team through various fundraising campaigns.
In a team of 10 to 15 people, you travel to Africa at your own expense and lend a hand at the end of the project. You will experience the joy of being able to make a difference and grow personally.
At the end of the project, you roll up your sleeves and get down to business on site, actively helping with the renovation of the KITA. In return, you will reap the laughter of many children, parents and KITA managers.
You will gain a unique insight into the lives of the local people and gain valuable impressions and experiences. At the weekend, we discover the history, culture and nature of the country.

carry out new KITA and school projects.
“Yesterday, the teachers and children didn’t even want to go home because the place is so beautiful. We still can’t believe it’s our KITA now.”
