SKRUM uses the game of rugby to engage the children, at the same time educating participants about HIV/AIDS, inspiring better leadership in communities, raising awareness of gender violence and promoting the benefits of school and education through rugby's core values:
Volunteer
By visiting SKRUM as a volunteer you will work with our local coaches to run rugby sessions in school and communities and make classroom presentations on HIV/AIDS education. Every day will be unique and may include painting ‘Sipho’, our logo, onto a school wall, organising a local rugby tournament or planting fruit trees.
You will receive an incredible welcome from the Swazi people and the laughter and smiles from a child when you pass them a rugby ball will stay with you long after you leave.
Our volunteers stay at the SKRUM house and enjoy home cooked meals. On your days off you will have the opportunity to explore one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. From safaris and hikes in the National Parks to zip-wiring and white-water rafting, Swaziland is an adventure waiting to be had.
For volunteers passionate about rugby we also offer you the chance to gain your Level 1 Coaching Certificate during your stay with us.
We welcome volunteers who are 18+ on placements ranging from 1 week to 3 months, perfect for gap years or extended holiday breaks. SKRUM is helping and so can you!
