Anir Experience and Habitat for Humanity are separate entities.
Anir Experience is a program of the Anir Foundation. The Anir
Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit, non-sectarian NGO with its goal
being to provide individuals, with positive international
opportunities in Southern Africa. Conceptualized in 1997, the Anir
Foundation strives to raise the awareness of issues affecting the
continent of Africa, such as HIV/AIDS, poverty, homelessness,
women & youth related issues, exotic animal & flora ecology,
preservation of culture, and global social issues. The Anir
Foundation is a 100% volunteer organization with a program team
of seven and over 75 volunteers.
Anir Experience offers educational and internships experiences,
and volunteer work programs in Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar,
South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia.
Anir Experience is honored to partner with Habitat for Humanity
International to offer what Anir has titled Enhanced Builds and
Adventure Builds. An Anir Experience build is different from
regular HfH GV builds. Anir Enhanced Builds (EB) consist of pre
and post team opportunities for learning and Experiencing more of
the local environment & culture or possibly the opportunity to
explore more of Southern Africa. Enhanced Builds are under the
guidance of an Anir Education Specialist (AES). AES are specially
trained leaders and group facilitators with in depth knowledge of
the area and/or subject matter in which they are leading. AES’ are
both educators and also deal with all logistics, to help assist if
there are any concerns or problems.
All Anir teams are lead by at least one US American and usually
co-lead with host country instructors, facilitators and guides. An
Enhanced Build offers pre & post build opportunities that are
different from the average tourist experience, EB’s visit
orphanages and townships for on site HIV/AIDS education and
awareness, engaging directly with community leaders who are at
the center of the fight to stop the pandemic. In addition an
Enhanced Build may focus on cultural experiences such as music,
art, dance, or on animal and plant conservation or any number of
other educational, life enhancing options.
An Adventure Build is one where the AES leads participants out of
their comfort zone to live for 10-12 or more days as part of the
community. Experiencing life as the local population does.
