Summary

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

Detailed description

That's why Gambia

The 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 can teach English, organize creative activities for children, or, completely different, you will provide essential care in local hospitals and pharmacies. Experience the culture from within and build unforgettable memories!


Education

You help children and young people by first watching with the teacher and assisting with the English lesson, and/or teaching independently, you organize creative or sporting activities for children and young people and thereby contribute 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.


This is you
