Volunteer Work in Mozambique

Your volunteer work in Mozambique will include various activities each day:

Morning volunteer work in Mozambique

You will spend your mornings doing volunteer work in the local pre-school. There, you will work closely with the local teachers and help to create lessons for the children. Above all, you should focus on promoting the children’s creativity through song, dance, art, and play. You can also teach the children a few English words, such as colours and numbers. Your volunteer work in Mozambique will also include the maintenance of the school building, making sure that the children have a nice learning environment.  

Afternoon volunteer work in Mozambique

Your afternoon volunteer work in Mozambique will include many different responsibilities. You can choose from two different fields of volunteer work:

First, you will have the option to plan and carry out an informational HIV workshop, which will take place in the schools in Vilanculos. Here, students learn about AIDS in a playful and interactive school setting. Aside from this, you will help with "Community Testing & Awareness Day", during which you will take over planning and marketing activities. 

Your second option is to teach English in various community centres as part of your volunteer work in Mozambique.

In addition to your main afternoon activity, you can also do other volunteer work in Mozambique. For example, you could work in a local orphanage. Here, you will plan free time activities and give the children your time and attention. The children will be happy to do creative activities with you, such as making pottery, crafts, or clothing.

If you enjoy sport, your volunteer work in Mozambique could include coaching Vilanculos’ boys soccer team once a week. You could also help to build new homes for the local community. As a result of Cyclone Favio in February 2007, a large percentage of the local homes were destroyed, leaving many people homeless. Through the energetic help of volunteers from around the world, one house is built every three weeks. Your volunteer work in Mozambique will also be welcomed in building new classrooms.
