Volunteering at Naankuse Primary School, the colourful facility providing free education and support to all of Naankuse’s children,
is possible in two ways:
As part of the Naankuse Conservation Volunteer Program: This allows volunteers to immerse themselves in the world of our children, play times and music lessons complementing an already colourful curriculum.
Naankuse Primary School Volunteers: Ideal for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of child development and education. No qualifications needed as our terrific team will take care of you. Volunteer on a “full-time” basis at Naankuse Primary School and let our children, all from unique and often challenging backgrounds, change your life. The minimum duration of stay is one month (4 weeks), and volunteers are only assigned to school related activities.
