HOPE Cape Town Volunteers


The help of countless local and international volunteers has helped HOPE Cape Town to be where it is today. These committed individuals have assisted in many areas to help HOPE Cape Town function to the best of its ability. Applicants, both locally and internationally, must want to make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS in underprivileged communities around Cape Town, and be willing to commit themselves for a minimum of three months.

Volunteers are required to have no specific skills, other than a desire to learn and a willingness to help however they can.

The various areas that the volunteer will need to get involved in will include:

  • Assisting with HOPE Cape Town’s grassroots projects in the community
  • Supporting the work of HOPE health care workers in the wards
  • Helping in the Tygerberg hospital school
  • Being involved in the administrative needs of the NGO

As these places are highly sought after and only two volunteers can be placed at any one time, it is advisable to apply a year in advance. Unfortunately HOPE Cape Town cannot provide accommodation and transport, and no remuneration can be paid to volunteers.
