Volunteer in South Africa

Vista is a community that supports people facing some of life’s toughest challenges, from those battling drug addiction to women and kids who’ve suffered abuse, as well as people living with HIV/AIDS and those who feel like they have nowhere left to turn.

As a volunteer, you’ll be part of a team making a real impact. Whether you're helping with daily activities, providing emotional support, or running community programs, your time can help give people the second chances they deserve. It’s a chance to step up, make a difference, and experience something truly rewarding.

In South Africa, many kids never get the chance to learn how to swim and as a result, the risk of drowning is sadly very high. This project is all about changing that by giving local children the chance to feel safe and confident in the water, and you can be part of it.

You’ll be supporting the Swim Safe program, which provides basic swimming lessons and water safety education to kids who might not otherwise have access. It’s an amazing feeling helping children understand how water works, how to stay safe, and how much fun swimming can be with their mates.

With your support, this project gives kids life-saving skills they'll carry with them forever!
