Generalists
Malawi | Full-time | Minimum 1 month
If you don’t have experience with any of the specialist categories, no worries! An able-body and willingness to learn is always appreciated. Some other activities we could use help with are:
- Building windmills, tree houses, boats, and playgrounds
- Organising the toy competitions, making toys, or designing toys
- Video editing
- Letter writing
- Truck driving (must have a valid driver’s license)
- Making/playing instruments
Please Note: Rural Malawi is not for the feint of heart. As one of the poorest countries in the world, living here means:
- living several hours from the nearest hospital
- without electricity
- without indoor plumbing
- with a significant language barrier
- eating whatever’s put in front of you
- genuinely enjoying the company of children
You’ll need to be comfortable with this and adaptable to “Africa time” and ever-changing plans. Overall we’re looking for someone with a hard work ethic and good sense of humour who wants to make an impact in the world.
