Info
Projects Abroad is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. Located in the centre of the country at an altitude of 2400m, Addis Ababa is the third highest capital city in the world.
Care volunteers in Ethiopia work in orphanages, day care centres, kindergartens and care homes in and around the capital. The homes provide full-time care for orphaned or abandoned children and are places where children are given friendship and support while they wait to be adopted. Day care centres and kindergartens provide a safe haven where children can be free to play and learn away from the stresses of their home or street lives. The children who have made it to these homes and centres crave the love and affection that volunteers have the time and energy to give. This is where your help is most needed.
Apart from fundamental childcare activities such as feeding and dressing the children, you will find yourself getting involved in other essential activities. Whether you are helping a child to learn to count, organising a game of catch or letting a child braid your hair, volunteer work in Ethiopia will make a difference to the quality of their daily lives.
Many placements will appreciate you providing an extra dimension to the childrens' education by giving them some informal English lessons. With Ethiopia increasingly becoming a tourist destination for visitors from the developed world, this will be a valuable skill for young people trying to find jobs. Volunteers also organise occasional trips out from the orphanage and sometimes assist with fundraising events.
We also work with a local organisation that arranges activities like games and sports for street children. These extra activities usually run a couple of times during the week and on Saturdays and all our volunteers in Ethiopia have the opportunity to be involved.
