Fulfill your life: go to Gambia and dedicate yourself to Education, Healthcare, or Welfare.

Gambia offers you the unique opportunity to contribute to community development while developing personally and professionally. For example, you could teach English, organize creative activities for children, provide guidance for children with disabilities, or—something completely different—provide essential care in local hospitals. Experience Gambian culture from the inside and build unforgettable memories!

Education

You help children and young people by first observing the teacher and assisting with English lessons or other essential subjects; you organize creative or sports activities and thereby contribute to their growth and development.

Care and welfare

Collaborate with local professionals in hospitals or a dental practice.

Support children with disabilities and teach them essential skills in an international context.
