Volunteer in Africa for free

Can anyone suggest a project to help in Africa but without paying a fee? Are there any free projects you can recommend? I like the idea of going to volunteer somewhere like South Africa or Kenya but I don't understand why I need to pay to do this when its volunteering?

Have you thought about searching/contacting NGO's, humanitarian orgs or charities? Surely these will be free/or offer stipends.

Check out our Africa volunteering programs - lots of options throughout the continent with lots of local free, paid and structured options.

Did you manage to find somewhere? I'm just looking now and find the prices quite expensive as I want to go for at least 4 weeks.
