As a small Christian charity it is important to The Lifespring Foundation to make sure that gap year volunteers are able to make the best use of their time & their unique skills & that our projects are supported effectively.

Taking a 'gap year' before or after Uni or having 'time out' from a busy career is fast becoming a popular option for many people. For some an unexpected life changing event means that they want to spend time travelling the world & experiencing new things. Lifespring have hosted volunteers from all around the world who have discovered the life changing benefits of volunteering in Zambia.

The skills and unique qualities these volunteers bring has helped to shape our projects & has made a real difference in the lives of widows, orphans & vulnerable families. But skills are not as important as just being willing to get involved, getting alongside real people & showing that you care.

The Lifespring Foundation welcome volunteers of all faiths & none however since Zambia is a country Christian by constitution it is important that volunteers understand they be sensitive to this in their words & deeds.

Volunteers really do make a difference and have fun at the same time. So whatever your age or life experience if you are thinking about taking time out why not join The Lifespring Foundation in Zambia.
