Program fees starting at US 400 for 2 weeks
Love Volunteers is a not-for-profit organisation that provides fun, rewarding, safe and affordable volunteering opportunities in developing countries around the world.
Through our partner NGO in Ethiopia, Love Volunteers are seeking volunteers right now. Opportunities in a variety of fields constantly arise, each aimed at making a palpable difference to people's lives in a country which suffered decades of famine, war and other disasters.
There is considerable variety in the range of subjects taught by volunteers, which include English, sports, information technology and life skills for people who have disabilities, as well as many others.
You will typically work with children aged 4 - 17 years and teach at some of the poorly resourced schools in Ethiopia. A formal teaching qualification or TEFL certificate is not a requirement to participate in the volunteer teaching projects. In fact, after orientation you may well be teaching on your own with the guidance of a qualified teacher. Alternatively, your role will be to assist local teachers. Certainly your presence on the program will make a significant contribution to the improvement of the pupils' conversational English.
In many instances, the local teachers themselves gain from contact with English speaking volunteers. You will provide increased exposure to spoken English and hence boost their confidence. Both the school's pupils and its teachers, by advancing their language skills, improve their chances of a brighter future.
Fees for volunteer programs in Ethiopia start at US$400 for two weeks, which includes accommodation (with a local family), food, an airport pick-up, orientation and 24/7 in-country support.
