Join a humanitarian programme in Senegal, one of the most authentic countries of West Africa.
Several NGOs and local associations work on local development of the country and need help from international volunteers.
Senegal is a stable country welcoming lots of volunteers every year to join teaching, sustainable development or healthcare programmes.
Education in Senegal is one of the most developed in Africa and students have access to training in various fields.

Local time in Dakar:
Everyone! We all have things to offer, even without qualifications. Just have the willingness to give a little time and discover a whole new culture.
There are only two criteria for participation :
The program starts every Monday, and you will be picked up at Dakar airport the day before the start of the program. The majority of the placements are in the Dakar region.
Dakar is the capital of Senegal and has just over one million inhabitants with just over 3 million throughout the Dakar region.
Dakar is also the former capital of French West Africa.
You must arrive the day before the start of the programme, before 9.30pm.
To avoid the culture shock you will follow an integration process for a few days, during which you will learn about the lifestyles and customs of the Senegalese and see some of the points of interest of the city such as the island of Gorée (House of Slaves) and the pink lake.
If you choose one of our humanitarian volunteer programs in Senegal, you will receive a complete guide of the country, mission, advice and information before leaving. For further information or advice, contact us by mail or through our contact form.
All volunteers are hosted by the family of the Headmaster of the school. You will stay in a room with electricity, equipped with a mattress, a fan and a mosquito net and you will share a bathroom.
Women will be housed in the family apartment while men will be housed in an apartment near the school which is the home of the Head Teacher.
You will be able to wash your clothes, either in the house where you will stay or in the Pikine laundry (or any other solution of your choice).
The three meals a day (local cuisine) are taken with the host family.
Everyone eats from one dish - it is a friendly way to eat, you really share! In most families, you eat with your hands but you can always ask for a knife or a fork. If this bothers you, remember to bring your own.
