We’re 30 minutes from Nacala city (assessable with public transport) And we're only 2 hours drive from the beautiful historic Island of Mozambique with stunning Portuguese heritage homes and Mozambican culture! Here in Northern Mozambique it's summer all round!

We assess every application, however placement as a volunteer within the organisation is dependent on an approved application and space within our volunteer program.
