How to use this page
Check the publication date and exact location of each opportunity. Before applying, confirm the current activities, required qualifications, weekly hours, days off, supervision, accommodation, meals, local transport, minimum stay and any fees or other financial arrangements directly with the host or organisation.
Projects involving healthcare, counselling, teaching, children or other vulnerable people may require professional qualifications, appropriate supervision and clear safeguarding procedures. Make sure the proposed role matches your experience and does not replace qualified local staff.
Fees, visas and local conditions
Some opportunities may provide accommodation or meals without a mandatory participant fee, while others may request a contribution towards programme costs, food, transport or accommodation. If payment is required, confirm the exact amount, what it covers and the applicable cancellation and refund conditions.
Visa, immigration and security conditions vary by country and can change quickly. Current official travel advice includes specific warnings for parts of Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Confirm the exact project location and consult current official advice before making travel arrangements.
For additional guidance, read our visa information for volunteering abroad and safety and legality guidance.
