As an established volunteering company based in Cape Town, AVIVA is dedicated to providing you with a value for money volunteering experience in South Africa with a wide range of carefully researched projects throughout the country.

Since launching our volunteering organisation in June 2002, we have continually improved our service to you by investing in dedicated staff, upgrading our volunteer accommodation, providing our own unique tours and extending the choice of projects available to you.

Our aim is to become the company of choice for international volunteers travelling to South Africa, and certainly we have gone a long way to achieving that aim in a relatively short period of time. AVIVA is now arguably South Africa's leading volunteer organisation, with an enviable volunteer satisfaction rating and a great range of benefits included with every project. We invite you to research your volunteering options thoroughly as we are confident that you will find our combination of value, service and benefits to be unbeatable elsewhere.

Our team is dedicated to making our volunteer's stay as enjoyable and rewarding as possible - in fact, AVIVA has South Africa's largest volunteer support team - no other organisation provides the depth of support or attention to detail that we do.

Our project partners are also very important to us, which is why we work closely with them to ensure that everyone gains the greatest possible benefit from their experience. Many of our project partners are non-profit organisations, which is why we provide a donation for every AVIVA volunteer placed with them. AVIVA is the only volunteering organisation in South Africa that invests in the future of its project partners in this way.

From small beginnings, we have been overwhelmed by the contributions that international volunteers have made. Your passion, energy and goodwill have all made an impact on our projects, and continue to create brighter futures for children and wildlife across South Africa.
