We created a program, which enables visiting and experiencing the real Africa without strict conditions, specific education, experience and time limits. It’s our belief that anyone, who would like to spend some time with children, meet friendly locals, explore remote African villages and interesting places and see animals in their natural environment, deserves this opportunity. There are many people, who spend their whole lives dreaming about visiting Africa and we are here to help you make these dreams come true.

You can come to Gambia any time, for one week to one month and more. The Travel As a Volunteer program is suitable for anyone: students, the employed, honeymooners, the retired, individuals, groups, etc.

You are never going to be alone in Gambia. Friendly locals and coordinators will be at your service whenever you might need them. We will gladly answer all your questions even before your trip. We are going to organize a training session for you and send you creative ideas for working with children. If you’re afraid that you might not be able to do it, we can calm you down. So far, we everyone enjoyed the work with children.

The internet connection in the city is slightly slower with occasional interruptions, but it’s possible to communicate with your friends, family and co-workers every day.

The rainy season is over at the end of September and with it the presence of insects grows smaller. Ebola was never present in Gambia.

We are available at volunteer@treasuresofwestafrica.com for all additional questions and explanations.
