29 Days in Togo: Last Spot Available in November to Volunteer and Support Street-Connected Children & Empower Young Girls
Alsalam Association
Hälsa International Togo
Lomé, Togo
Descrição
Volunteer teams will engage in fieldwork such as data collection on street-involved youth, awareness-raising activities on social justice, health, hygiene, and reproductive health, and support for non-formal education programs. They will also organize art-based educational activities for children. Additional tasks include training peer educators, empowering community leaders, supporting advocacy efforts, and contributing to administrative work like project writing and resource mobilization. An orientation program will support cultural adaptation through local language basics and work methods. All activities are carried out in safe settings alongside experienced local staff. This experience promotes personal growth and contributes directly to inclusive, sustainable development goals.
Comparticipação nas despesas de alojamento, alimentação e transporte
Volunteers will stay in a guesthouse with a private room, electricity, drinking water, and internet access (internet bills are the volunteer’s responsibility). Groceries will be provided by the organization, and volunteers will prepare their own meals. Transportation from the airport to the accommodation and back will be arranged by Hälsa International. Daily commuting is usually on foot or by car, depending on the project location.
Formação durante a atividade
Volunteers will receive induction training on local culture, working methods, and basic Ewe language. They will be introduced to local authorities and the EU representation in Togo. Quarterly evaluation workshops will assess their progress. Continuous support will be provided by the project manager, including guidance on cultural adaptation and community integration. Peer learning sessions and capacity-building activities with local staff are also part of the training process.
Perfil do participante
We are looking for motivated and compassionate volunteers aged 18-35, with a strong sense of responsibility, openness to different cultures, and a willingness to work with vulnerable children and young girls. Some basic knowledge of French is preferred, as it will ease communication. Ideal candidates should be adaptable, empathetic, and capable of working in diverse teams. Experience in education, social work, or working with children is an asset. A commitment to social justice, equality, and human rights is highly valued.
