Zambia Sports and Community Project
Join the Zambia Sports Coaching Programme and help hundreds of young children orphaned by AIDS. Working in a school and at a local orphanage, you can provide the much-needed support and guidance these children need. You have the chance to make a real impact on the lives of these children and to assist with their learning experience.
Zambia's lack of financial resources have forced the government to operate a “hot seating” system whereby children take it in turns to go to school. Some schools are forced to operate 3 separate school sessions each day, meaning two thirds of children are not attending school at any one time. Help to coach sports and offer a structured teaching environment for young children, whom would otherwise be left to entertain themselves each day.
Volunteer Role
Working with the local schools in the morning, you will help to teach a range of sports as part of each child's daily instruction. Before the involvement of volunteers, sports received little or no attention in schools, so you will play a major role in the continued physical education of each child.
In the afternoon, you will attend the local community centre/orphanage and help to organise daily games and sporting activities for the orphans. Past volunteers have set up football teams who have played in local leagues.
Accommodation & Meals
You will stay in a specially built volunteer house, with other volunteers from your programme. This is a large, four-bedroom house, with an extra 3 bedrooms and 1 shower adjacent to this, located in the quiet suburbs of Livingston, just 5 minutes from the project. The house has a large garden, a large living/dining area and kitchen together with 2 bathrooms.
You will be provided with three meals a day, and will have full access to your kitchen in the house. Breakfast usually consists of cereals/porridge, toast, tea and coffee. For lunch you will be given sandwiches to take with you, or eat back at the house. Dinner is cooked for you.
