Our vision is to awaken in people the realization that they can be a dynamic force for positive change in the world. We aim to improve the lives of under privileged communities in South Africa by connecting people, resources and abilities to truly demonstrate that “We Are One.” The work done by The Simunye Project are done in concert with the community leaders and with the aim to be completely sustainable and self-sufficient.
Each year, The Simunye Project coordinates an 18-day trip team in which students and adult project leaders works together to:
- • Learn resiliency, problem solving, project planning and team work
- • Discover how to take on, and tackle, challenges
- • Have an authentic volunteering experience in a unique environment
- • Learn about other cultures and the rich history of South Africa
- • Connect with people of all ages and develop meaningful relationships
- • Leave a sustainable legacy
- • Be a positive change in the world
