Overview
Do you have a passion for helping underprivileged children to make a difference in their lives? Do you ever dream of touring Zimbabwe and learn the diverse culture and expansive history?
Many low-income families in Zimbabwe find it difficult to earn income to support their families because they have to stay at home to take care of their children. They are unable to afford daycare services and there are limited facilities provided by the government to support the parents. Many parents have to leave their children alone as they go for work. This leaves the children vulnerable and they are also devoid of parental love and care needed in their childhood.
IFRE works with two childcare centers, one in a rural village and one in Victoria Falls Town. You will assist the local staff with teaching lessons, preparing meals, feeding the children, cleaning and supervising children. You will also help organize events, plan games and extra-curricular activities like dance, singing, art and crafts etc. You will also teach the children about hygiene and provide them with love and motivation.
Your efforts will have a positive impact on the children as well as their families. The children will be able to thrive in a safe and happy environment and the parents can go to work knowing their children are in good hands. By helping the children, you will enable them to have a positive future that will in turn help strengthen the local communities. You will also gain meaningful experience in the field of childcare and gain lifelong memories with the children.
