Volunteering

Volunteering is an excellent opportunity to get to know a country, a region, other cultures, at the same time as you are carrying out a job with a very high added value for the local inhabitants. Living together with people of different cultures and opinions, sharing experiences as volunteers in other countries is a unique experience which will never be forgotten.

The first international volunteer arrived in Belo in 2003. Since then, there have been many more, some have even repeated. Amongst other things, volunteers have helped create educational extra-curricular programmes for orphans, as well as the building of a school, the set up of a sales network for the delicious honey produced in Boyo together with medicinal plants, the start up of an eye hospital, the project of sponsoring orphans, the programme of Responsible Tourism and much more.

In order to make sure your stay makes sense, for yourself and the project you are working on, KIRABO considers important to take into account the following:

-minimum recommended stay: 3 months

-capacity of adaptation and emphaty

-manage your own agenda and time

-be open-minded and have a good sense of humor

-some theoretical knowledge of international cooperation

It must be taken into account that things here work differently and the more time you stay, the better you will understand their culture and way of life. It is important that you have a fluent level of English since this part of the country is English speaking and most important of all is that you don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and help where needed.
