Volunteer Costs 2024

C.A.R.E. baboon sanctuary is run by volunteers and the volunteer program has been running for over 20 years; helping to fund the running costs of the Centre. 

 

Whilst we employ 9-14 local dedicated, permanent South Africans from nearby villages the main bulk of the Management and Supervisory team are at C.A.R.E. on a voluntary basis.  The running costs of the centre are vast and therefore volunteers are vital. 

​

We ask all volunteers to make a minimum donation to C.A.R.E. which covers food, accommodation, training time, education (all volunteers are provided with an extensive education and training program) and also funds some of the day-to-day running costs; to feed and care for the animals you will be coming to help.

​

As the animals at C.A.R.E. are not classified as an Endangered Species, it is very difficult for our team to raise enough funds to run the centre; the volunteer donation and help is essential.  Don't be put off by money though; through crowd-funding, bake sales or taking on an additional job and paying over a time period making your African Dream a reality can be easier than you imagine.  We are also on hand to offer fundraising ideas, materials and advice.
