Help Esther serve vulnerable children and women, in South Africa and Mozambique.

International

Kia ora,

I have had the blessing to serve 2 terms now in Mozambique. During this time, it was apparent to me that there is a huge need for volunteers. Therefore, I am planning to continue to offer my time and skills in Africa this year.

God willing, I plan to be in Durban, South Africa at LIV Village (organisation for voluble children) for 6 weeks, as a general volunteer. Then I will be returning to The Liberty Project, Mozambique for 3 months continuing to teach in the Artisan, English and Hospitality departments. Please see the links below about the organisations.

However, I'm coming to the end of my allocated savings and need help to raise funds. Also, would like to open the opportunity for others to be apart of the life changing work these incredible organisations in Africa are doing. Any excess donations will go directly to the NGOs.

Small or big, any donation will make a difference and will be greatly appreciated by all impacted. Whether you donate, share or pray, thank you for your support, much love 💛

First update  3 February 2025

Thank you everyone for your support. It’s has covered my costs for my 3 month visa.

I have been in Durban for 3 weeks now and I love being at LIV. I am working in the Homes department; supporting and supplying the mums and children on the village with everything they need i.e clothing, homeware, maintenance issues etc.

I feel a real purpose here as 2 weeks into volunteering, the head of the department left for another job, leaving myself and 1 other staff member to run the ship.

I’m preparing for Moz as well, leaving on the 20th of Feb.
