Enrich your life: go to Gambia and commit to Education or Care projects!

Make a difference in a developing country like Gambia, for example as a (subject) teacher, teaching assistant, childcare worker, healthcare or welfare worker.

Therefore Gambia

Gambia offers you the unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a community, while developing yourself personally and professionally. In a position that matches your education and/or experience. For example, you could teach English, organise creative activities for children, or, quite differently, you will provide essential care in local hospitals and pharmacies. Experience the culture from the inside and build unforgettable memories!

Education

You will help children and young people by first watching along with the teacher and assisting with English lessons, and/or teaching independently, you will organise creative or sporting activities for children and young people, contributing to their growth and development.

Care and welfare

Work with local professionals in hospitals, pharmacies and dental practices. Or support children with disabilities and learn essential skills in an international context.

It gets you a lot

• It is an amazing, unique experience that broadens your horizons;
• You are going to meet many new people, allowing you to expand your personal and professional network considerably;

This is you

You are at least 18 years old when you leave. It goes without saying that you are physically and mentally in excellent, healthy condition. By nature, you are patient, flexible and reliable. And of course you are interested in other cultures. Your education and/or experience is in line with one of the professional fields. There is an application procedure in which you must be willing to apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). We will pay the cost of the VOG.

Invest in your own development

You must be prepared to bear the costs involved in this volunteer work yourself (preparation and supervision costs, ticket, accommodation costs and meals).
