Volunteer in Nigeria – the heart beat of Africa.

From the moment you set foot on this exceptional land of diverse culture you will be overwhelmed by a feeling of warmth and well being. This incredible country in the western part of Africa is bounded in the North by Niger, on the east by the Chad and Cameroon, on the south by the Gulf of Guinea and the west by Benin. Nigeria has an area of 923,768sq km, and is the most populous country in Africa .

Many attractions and tourist sites are open from the beginning of the year (Agungu fish festival) right through to the end of the year (Igue festival of the Benin kingdom). Countless adventures await you in the different states and regions.

Projects

Volunteer work in Nigeria rewards the volunteer as well as those assisted. SYTO Nigeria has numerous projects opportunities, which include teaching in schools, working in orphanages, social work, caring for physically challenged children in their homes, assisting social health workers in their various fields, and assisting in collection of data for research institutes or in the community.

Workplace conditions

We make an effort to find a suitable placement based on your areas of interest and qualifications. It is SYTO Nigeria's belief that you must be flexible and willing to turn your hands to whatever is required of you. It is very important for you to know that if you do not find the project suitable and you insist on changing your work placement, SYTO will endeavor to find a replacement as soon as possible. However, it may take some time, perhaps a few weeks, to be able to find you another work site.

Placements can be in the rural or urban areas within the country. SYTO will not place you on any project if we believe that the placement area is not SAFE.

You will be working with Nigerian counterparts. Be open-minded and feel free to make meaningful suggestions and interact with them. Nigerians will be very warm and friendly when they feel their gestures will be appreciated.
