Community Project Visits after your Challenge

We know that many of you want to give something back to the country that has hosted your amazing experience. For several years now we've supported several Community Projects, and in those countries our groups have the opportunity to visit them and take small gifts such as unwanted clothing or children's books.

Now you can give something back in a more practical way! Extend your stay and help the local community with worthwhile project work.

The work is likely to involve a mix of practical conservation work or helping with children.

Because we want to ensure our visits achieve the most worthwhile results possible, we cannot guarantee exactly what you will be doing far in advance, as the needs of the project change. We will be able to give you firm details nearer departure.

You do not need any special skills, but you should be fit, healthy and flexible in your expectations!

Get involved in a our Community Projects after these trips:

3-Day Project Visit, Tanzania

Help is always needed at Light in Africa, the children's home we support in Moshi. You might be helping to undertake the myriad of jobs that are needed to provide care for the children to keep the home running, or you may help to improve the facilities and buildings at this growing home. You will have the opportunity to visit different children’s homes and participate in projects with the children e.g. schoolwork, play and similar social activities.

The Project welcomes all denominations, their beliefs are firmly based on Christian traits and values.

Places are limited so please book early. Project tasks may depend on group size, so booking early will also allow Light in Africa to plan activities which will be of most value to them.
