The Story Behind Volunteer Zambia
Since its humble beginnings 2006, a dedicated team of managers, office and field staff, have built Volunteer Zambia into Zambia's leading voluntourism organization.

Having traveled to our volunteer projects throughout Zambia, I’ve seen a lot of fascinating things and met a lot of intriguing people! I have never failed to be continuously inspired, and re-inspired, by the people that I have met.

Whether they were our very own Volunteer Zambia project managers or participants or local partners such as headmasters in small rural schools or over-eager children with an amazing desire to learn, I am continuously awed by the beauty of the kind of humanity that can eclipse all boundaries and bring people together when working for a common cause.

Ultimately, I prefer to seek out the evidence and outputs that stand to support the work that we are doing. So I will leave you with these comments and in the mean time will look forward to welcoming you to Africa one day!" - Sarah Graham (nee Conolly), Co-Founder, Cape Town, October 2009

"As a department, we truly appreciate your dedication and hope you recognise, as we do, the valuable role you play in building brighter futures for Zambia's next generation. Thank you for your continuing support. It is through the positive efforts of organisations like yours that we can change a lifetime for a child in need..."

It has made it clearer just how precious life is and how you shouldn’t take anything for granted; I look at everything differently now. It has also had an effect on the people around me too which is nice to see. I think it’s a great program. From what I saw there would be a lot of people so much worse off if it wasn’t for Volunteer Zambia..."Nicola Church, UK.
