Project South Africa

Project South Africa is a University of Denver International Service Learning Program that combines service work with academic study in South Africa during the summer term. Project South Africa is the first University of Denver Service Learning Program based in Africa and is unique in its focus on health and mental health care issues.
The program begins in the United States during spring quarter with an overnight retreat and several class sessions during which we discuss our own complex and imperfect American health care system and the multiple, severe health issues challenging South Africa today. We also introduce the history, politics, economics, and culture of South Africa, while exploring how these forces have influenced the evolution of South Africa’s health care system.
