Charity Volunteer Work in Africa and The Gambia

Charity Volunteering Work in Africa and The Gambia

​Girls in The Gambia face adverse challenges of child marriage, child labour, trafficking, FGM, and exploitation and are often deprived of their basic needs. With lives revolving around decisions made by others, the only option left for them is to abide by these decisions without a say in their own life stories. This makes it impossible to create their own identity, to think as an individual, and to create a life of their own. 

Charity Volunteering with girls' education charities

Every grave circumstance that hesitates to intrinsically progress requires an external push to feel empowered. How can you be this source of encouragement?
When you choose to volunteer for girls in The Gambia, you not only feel a sense of accomplishment but have also managed to turn around a life for the better! With the help of your mentorship, girls in The Gambia could benefit from it on a personal note as well as in their careers.

How volunteering supports girls' education

• Children greatly benefit from your communication with them. It helps them improve their behaviour and interpersonal skills. They further learn how to communicate and interact with individuals of other nationalities and cultures, thus making them more hospitable and good-natured.

• You would notice lower drop-out rates from school. When children find something unusual and different, this naturally creates curiosity in them. Your participation adds this element to their lives. With consistency in variety, children are easily motivated to go to school and apply the learnings practically in their lives too.

• Connecting with children also means connecting with their vulnerabilities, talents, flaws and ideologies. As a volunteer, you could help shape these by connecting with their emotions. Children then tend to develop better positive emotions in the process.

 

• Once they go through emotional development, they tend to have higher self-esteem and refrain from placing their worth in hands of others.

 

• Children are able to aim higher and have bigger goals and aspirations, extending the boundaries that society sets for them. They can visualize a stronger future and carve a strong voice.

 

• These emotional developments and communication abilities help them develop stronger relationships with family, friends, classmates, and society at large.

 

• They also take care of themselves, are aware of their bodies and find ways to keep them healthy and sustain a good lifestyle.

​

• Most children dread going to school because of its monotonous routine. When you help volunteer a child, they tend to look forward to the routine by altering their mind set and ways of looking at their school-life. They create a positive outlook and engage with their studies in hope of finding something new to learn every day.

Charity Volunteering and mentoring, can put a child in the position to gradually “choose”, to be conscious of her rights and have the strength to speak up and fight for herself.
