We expect volunteers to be flexible, open and teachable. Each volunteer is involved in all our ministries and is required to assist in different tasks that make the ministry run smoothly. You will be involved in picking up food at the store, teaching a bible story to children, building relationships to people addicted to drugs and help keep the centre clean, just to name a few.
You can find more information about the ministries in our ministries section and HERE you can find how your weekly schedule could look like.
We accept short term volunteers from three months up to 1 year. We encourage volunteers though to join for long term. (1 year and longer). In any case, please contact us and we can find out what will suit you and us best.
You should only apply if you have a good knowledge and understanding of the English language.

The Meetse a Bophelo Centre has many rooms, though the rooms are small they allow a bit of seclusion for those who need to get away after a long day of work. You will have access to a large common room and kitchen for relaxing and preparing food.

AIDS Hope is a NPO based on Christian values and ethics from the Bible. Our vision is to reproduce those values in the people we serve and see many more Jesus followers in our community. We expect your lifestyle to be aligned with those values and ethics and for you to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
South Africa is known as being a country with an above average amount of crime. The centre where we are staying is equipped with a security system in order to protect staff and their belongings. While crime is a reality, it is not often that we have been personally affected by it. However, you must be aware of this reality when bringing valuables with you.
