Izizwe Projects in Walmer Township focuses on providing services that the local youth and children normally lack, including access to sports and leisure activities due to few opportunities in the poor community. Izizwe provides schools, creches, and other organizations with sports coaching, holiday programs, and dance/theater programs. Volunteers get involved by collaborating with the local team in providing a service that doesn't just offer a healthy lifestyle choice but also life skills, social skills, and personal development to underprivileged children.

Three weeks filled with love and kindness
by: Isabelle Blommendaal - NetherlandsProgram: Izizwe Township Projects: Sports CoachingThe experience of seeing and helping in another living environment was so special to me. It helped me grow as a person. Even the project was uplifting and helped me realize that life is not always what it seems to be.
Thumbs up!
by: Raphael ObertreisProgram: Izizwe Township Projects: Sports CoachingThe best thing for me was to see how happy the kids in the schools and créches are when they see us. It gave me the feeling that I made their day better even when it often was quite exhausting. At the end of the day I made them smile and that is what counts.
A break for everything

With that I mean that it is always amazing, because everyone is so welcoming and nice, no matter if they're a volunteer or a local. I got to know so many nice people and it was amazing to work together with them. It was very cool, to also get the chance to spend time with everyone outside of work.
