Mozambique Community Development

The Mozambique Community Development program offers a combination of activities, providing you with the chance to take part in vital community support within rural African villages and a sports development scheme with local children.

Volunteer Role

Volunteering on this project will involve you in a variety of areas such as cookery lessons, craft workshops, HIV and AIDS workshops, teaching English and general community development work. You can also spend time playing with local children on the soccer project, organizing tournaments, and developing their skills as well as gaining an valuable insight into the daily lives of local Mozambique communities in Africa. In your free time you will also be able to relax and enjoy Mozambique's optional excursions including Open Water PADI certificate.
