10 May 2025- CorpsAfrica, a pan-African Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) said it is pleased to announce its volunteer program in South Africa. The organisation was founded in 2011 by former Peace Corps volunteer, Liz Fanning.
The Country Director for South Africa, Kelo Kubu said CorpsAfrica has recruited and trained African youth as volunteers to live and work in rural and under-resourced communities in their own countries. Kubu said since its inception, CorpsAfrica has established a presence in 10 countries, including Morocco, Senegal, Malawi and Rwanda.
“The organisation has trained and deployed over 900 volunteers, who have successfully implemented more than 800 community-driven projects, impacting the lives of thousands of people.
“The first cohort of volunteers are placed in two provinces (North West and Limpopo) under four local municipalities including, Moretele, Greater Taung, Polokwane and Maruleng Local Municipalities. The duration of their service is 10 months and volunteers are working on a variety of projects tailored to the needs of these communities, focussing on areas such as education, health, agriculture and economic development,” she said.
Kubu further said CorpsAfrica’s entry into the country is a testament to the incredible growth and impact the organisation has achieved over the years. She added they are excited to bring this transformation program to SA, where they believe their volunteers will make a meaningful difference in the lives of communities.
