The women that create these groups are often widowed or looking after the children of deceased relatives. These groups generally focus on helping at a very local level to empower those around them. Common activities include educational and microfinance projects to assist women in becoming self-sufficient, supporting local orphans in the form of access to free education, and raising awareness of important health issues. We are working with a number of such groups which are at different stages of development. Volunteers are needed to support various on-going activities such as microfinance projects, education or administration or helping with long term funding. Volunteers are placed according to their skills and length of time here, as some groups are looking for very specific skills, whilst others can use help at a more basic level. Contact us directly for information. Women’s groups also undertake local community based projects such as surveying in local villages, running community health seminars or discovering new ways to assist a particular village.
We arrange volunteer placements at a variety of different projects falling under a number of categories. You can chat to past and current volunteers if you wish. They can be contacted through our Facebook page, Hostel Hoffers. Most of these projects are working towards long term sustainability. We have a set number of placements at each project, according to their needs. Please read through the placements listed to get an idea of what we do, but for a more detailed description please contact us via email.
