Volunteer Vacations is the nominated Official Gap Year Provider for SKRUM, a rugby charity offering placements in Swaziland with the aim of coaching rugby to young people whilst delivering education and health programmes aimed at preventing the spread of AIDS/HIV. Volunteers complete 4 weeks in Swaziland to gain their Level 1 coaching and then visit Port Elizabeth, Lesotho or Rwanda for 12 weeks to coach and implement the skills they have learned.

A village primary school and boys' orphanage in the hills surrounding Udaipur in Rajasthan are the locations of our Northern India projects. Here volunteers teach English, Maths, arts and sports to a generation of children who
are first in their families to access formal schooling - an amazing
opportunity to work with families living far below the poverty line and
perfect for under 18s wishing to accompany their parents.

Our Port Elizabeth and India projects are both suitable for the
Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, including the Residence
Wilderness Trail.
