Description of the program
After the suspension of many travel projects due to COVID, new international volunteering positions have finally reopened with EUAidVolunteers, the initiative promoted and funded by the European Union Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO) in the field of humanitarian aid in several countries including Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia.
The initiative is open to all European citizens who have turned 18, or long-term residents, who want to increase their skills and their professional and human experience.
The projects
WeWorld selects volunteers who will be trained and sent to their local offices in Cuba (for the first time!), Kenya, Mozambique and Tunisia. Volunteers will be engaged in communication and fundraising, logistics, administration, protection or project management activities to ensure support and increase the resilience of the most vulnerable communities.
