Education and Business support in The Gambia

Our volunteer program supports two projects in The Gambia. One is an education project, supporting a nursery and lower basic school. The other is a business project, working with a local organisation set up to help local small businesses benefit from the money generated by tourism, and to support a local travel and tourism college train people for jobs in the tourist industry. The Gambia is a small, welcoming country - a wonderful introduction to West African culture - and both these projects offer a fantastic opportunity to work with local people to develop opportunities for them within their own country.

Volunteers on both these projects will have individual placement outlines prepared for them which match their skills and experience to local needs, creating the opportunity for a really meaningful volunteer experience. We welcome volunteers with skills and experience in any of the following: early years education, childcare, creative play, teaching English or Maths, administration, tourism, business skills, entrepreneurship, accountancy and book keeping, marketing and advertising, web design, public events management. Whatever your interests and experience we can use your skills to help local people develop the skills they need to create the futures they want for themselves.
