📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In an era where global wealth is rapidly increasing, it is both alarming and disheartening that poverty continues to devastate the lives of countless individuals. At Alsalam, we firmly believe that it is our moral duty and privilege to extend our hands to those less fortunate. Our mission is rooted in the unwavering commitment to combat poverty and create a brighter future for all.

We are tirelessly working to bridge the gap between the affluent and the impoverished, striving for a world where every person, irrespective of creed or background, can lead a life filled with dignity and respect. Through our various initiatives and programs, we aim to empower communities, provide essential resources, and foster sustainable development.

Join us in our relentless fight against poverty. Together, we can make a significant difference and build a world where prosperity is shared, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. At Salam, we are dedicated to turning this vision into reality, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of a dignified and fulfilling life.

At Alsalam, we collaborate with partners on the ground in some of the world’s most desolate areas. Our projects are designed to create lasting, sustainable change through innovative solutions.

These initiatives are empowering communities, educating future generations, and saving lives. By implementing such impactful projects, we give people across the globe a better chance at survival and a brighter future.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteer teams will engage in fieldwork such as data collection on street-involved youth, awareness-raising activities on social justice, health, hygiene, and reproductive health, and support for non-formal education programs. They will also organize art-based educational activities for children. Additional tasks include training peer educators, empowering community leaders, supporting advocacy efforts, and contributing to administrative work like project writing and resource mobilization. An orientation program will support cultural adaptation through local language basics and work methods. All activities are carried out in safe settings alongside experienced local staff. This experience promotes personal growth and contributes directly to inclusive, sustainable development goals.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a guesthouse with a private room, electricity, drinking water, and internet access (internet bills are the volunteer’s responsibility). Daily commuting is usually on foot or by car, depending on the project location.

🍲 Food

Groceries will be provided by the organization, and volunteers will prepare their own meals.

🎒 Leisure activities


⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated and compassionate volunteers aged 18-35, with a strong sense of responsibility, openness to different cultures, and a willingness to work with vulnerable children and young girls. Some basic knowledge of French is preferred, as it will ease communication. Ideal candidates should be adaptable, empathetic, and capable of working in diverse teams. Experience in education, social work, or working with children is an asset. A commitment to social justice, equality, and human rights is highly valued.
Deadline: No application deadline

🤝 Meeting point

Transportation from the airport to the accommodation and back will be arranged by Hälsa International.

ℹ️ Additional information

Volunteers will receive induction training on local culture, working methods, and basic Ewe language. They will be introduced to local authorities and the EU representation in Togo. Quarterly evaluation workshops will assess their progress. Continuous support will be provided by the project manager, including guidance on cultural adaptation and community integration. Peer learning sessions and capacity-building activities with local staff are also part of the training process.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
