Students Travel and Exposure South Africa (STAESA) is a registered Non-Profit Organization (NPO) based in South Africa. Any fees you pay to us go directly into the program (Please read below where the money goes). We promote and enhance cultural exchange and we bring development to over 50 communities in 15 countries in Africa. We link up these and other communities and countries in Africa to similar overseas Governmental organizations, Non-Profit Organizations, groups and Individuals. Together we make a great difference in the lives of the people of Africa.

Our programs are not meant only for students, but also for anyone over 18 years old. We receive numerous program participants from all over the world for various programs and projects.

Our interesting, unique and affordable programs are not only a great way to get exposure, but also a great way to be part and parcel of STAESA's great programs -- to jointly champion great relief programs to the people and communities in Africa. We are very eager to have you in our program.

There is a growing demand for professional volunteers. We see potential growth in this area and are expanding programs geared toward professionals. You can apply.
