Would you like to visit Ikhaya Labantu? Get taken out of your comfort zone and learn something outside the UK’s material world?
Khokela UK organises regular trips to visit Ikhaya Labantu, and we are always looking for skilled volunteers who wish to participate.
We are working to develop the sustainability of the shelter long term, encouraging UK-South Africa partnerships that enable people to fly out and give something worthwhile, at the same time as receiving a cross-cultural experience of equal benefit. We aim to build enduring relationships, so whilst some visits may be one-off, we want to see the benefits and connections continue to flourish.
Having the means to pay your own way would be beneficial for the purposes of these visits. Once you are in Cape Town we will to work with you to provide as much support as you need to ensure you experience the full richness and diversity of South Africa. Our aim is to ensure that you receive as much you are giving by way of experience, friendship and fun!
Current priorities at the shelter that we are seeking to address include
• Fixing the electrics in the dormitories;
• Fixing the laundry’s plumbing; fixing the showers and toilets in the shelter;
• Constructing some basic storage units for shelter residents;
• Replacing roofing panels over parts of the shelter.
If you want to travel out in person to get involved in sorting these issues out or have relevant knowledge, resources or contacts you want to share please get in touch at khokelamanagement@live.co.uk.
