Sports Development and Rural Community Work
Share your energy and skills on this project focused on sports and community volunteering in Zambia. The project team support the belief that sport is an essential and effective tool to teach various subjects such as HIV, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Working within primary schools, with sports teams for teenagers in the community and as part of a wider community outreach, this project provides the social and physical benefits of sport alongside an important educational tool. Children are also reminded about the importance of teamwork, trying their best, not cheating and listening.
Teaching and Community Work
Volunteering with us for teaching and community work in Zambia on a project at a number of community schools in the local area where large class numbers and just a small number of teachers means that children struggle and are unable to get help. The schools want to be able to do more, but without funding cannot bring in additional staff or create additional resources. The project collaborates with the local Department of Education ensuring that project activities are in line with local needs and solutions include classroom assistance, preparing materials, building and refurbishing school facilities as well as after school activities. Recently teacher development has been identified as a priority for the project and experienced volunteers are helping to develop the skills of locally qualified teachers, aiming to improve the ongoing quality of education.

Mission Statement
Kaya's mission is to promote sustainable social, environmental and economic development, empower communities and cultivate educated, compassionate global citizens through responsible travel.
Description
Responsible travel is about seeing the world in a manner that most respects and benefits local people, culture and the environment - it's travel in the real world, not tourism.
Every year thousands of people travel the globe looking to explore new environment and experience different cultures, with a spirit of adventure and a desire to learn more about the world.
As global travel becomes more accessible, and we look to visit further and more exotic locations, we often discover that the real world is not always easy to uncover, and often visitors don't get a chance to see beyond the window that tourism can offer.
As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to become a real part of the environments, lives and communities of the world's developing nations. And whether you chose to work on projects that benefit the wildlife, the environment or the people, you come away knowing that your being there has positively impacted those you have visited.
At Kaya, we pride ourselves on delivering only what is best for our volunteers and best for the communities which we are working with. You will find many volunteer organizations to chose between today, and many of these are also offering great placements around the world. But we believe that no-one works closer with their volunteers and with the receiving communities on the ground to make sure everyone can achieve the greatest benefits that volunteering has to offer.
For those of you who have skills that can benefit the projects, and even if you are looking to develop your professional skills in a developing country, your help is invaluable and Kaya staff will work with you to ensure your role matches your skill.
Internships, group ventures and specialist projects can be arranged by request.
