DAKTARI Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage
Daktari is a registered non-profit company located in the Limpopo Province, close to the town of Hoedspruit. It is a wildlife orphanage where the objective is to look after orphaned wild animal who cannot be rehabilitated and use them as a medium to inspire and educate local underprivileged children to care for their environment.
Every Monday we welcome a new group of 8 local under-privileged children for a week and give them the opportunity to discover, learn and become passionate about wildlife and conservation, their heritage. We also supplement their school curriculum in English, maths, sciences, geography, life skills and social issues.
Our goal is to enable today’s local underprivileged children to eventually be able to secure good employment in nature reserves, thereby improving their future quality of life.
To survive, we have a volunteer programme. We have people from overseas mainly who come to volunteer. They pay for their stay which help us toward our running cost.
We are looking for somebody who could make a short video of the volunteer programme that we could put on our website to market it more efficiently. Obviously the person who would have these competences would have to spend a few days here on site to do some filming.
