Each year, Thrive Africa hosts Family Days—an opportunity for you to visit your family member who’s participating in our Twenty4Seven internship.

We know the sacrifices an entire family makes for someone to be involved in an extended internship, so we’d like to offer you a chance to spend 1-2 weeks here in South Africa with your child.

Ministry Opportunities

While you’re here, you’ll spend time serving alongside your intern, have the chance to sit in on a few of their classes, and travel with them to Qwa Qwa for the LaunchPad classes they teach. You’ll get to love on the children at the Hope House orphanage and assist with work projects in the offices and around the mission base. You’ll also engage in relationship evangelism with your family member and their fellow interns.

Safari

You’ll join Thrive Africa staff, other parents, and your intern for an overnight safari! This will be a great time to experience one of South Africa’s finest game reserves that’s home to an abundance of animals including the “Big 5”: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. It’s also a great time for quality one-on-one time for you and your intern.
