📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Village Pilote is a Franco-Senegalese NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation), which has operated in Senegal since 1994. We strive to get the street children out of their downward spiral. To this end, we focus our efforts on prevention, protection and the reintegration of children at risk.
Our goals are:
- To introduce methods of identifying, making contact with and gaining the trust of these vulnerable children in conflict with society
- To facilitate and promote their reintegration into their communities, school and work via structured training programs
- To increase the understanding and raise awareness of the plight of street children across all sectors of Senegalese society
💼 What the programme involves
- Participate to the communication and valorisation strategy of global VP's activities (website, marketing - - supports, posters creations, social networks, media support etc...);
- Event communciation in intern (arbre de noël, voyages...) and in extern (gala, sport competitions, expos, stands...);
- Support fundraising activities;
- Support financial and administrative taks of the office;
- Contribute to the global advocacy strategy on the street children
From Monday to Friday, from 8h30 to 17h.
Each person has a mission which can be implemented according to its interest and its competences. In the office, the volunteer will be with the other program officers, adminitrative and financial manager, the director, interns or other volunteers (nearly 15 collegues). The volunteer organizes his schedule freely and in a autonomous way, according to his own rythm of work and tasks assigned by his superior.
For example, in the morning he can do administrative and communication work:
- Prepare all the documents related to an upcoming event
- Update the website and the facebook page of the associations news
In the afternoon, he can meet potential donors and follow up fundraising actions.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accomodation fees are on the charge of the volunteer.
The association helps volunteers to find a house (shared houses) around Village Pilot and answer to all questions related to his/arrival. The association can host the volunteer for the first week, before he finds a place to rent.
🍲 Food
The volunteer will pay for all his meals.
📍 About the location
Dakar is the capital of Senegal, an international and a dynamic city. From the cultural point of view, many art manifestations occur each year (Biennale de Dakar, Festival de Saint Louis, Music festival...) and several cultural activities are available all year long (concerts, dance show, theater, art exhibitions...).
Senegal is the fourth economy of West africa. Agriculture employs 70% of the population, but the level of unemployment remains very high (54% of the population). The official languages are Wolof and French; speaking one of theses two languages is essential. The majority of the country is muslim, but there is also a christian and animist minority.
🎒 Leisure activities
Senegal is very famous for many touristic places and beautiful sightseeings.
Travelling in the country is safe and encouraged! Closest touristic areas are "La Petite Côte" (1 hour from Dakar) and Siné Saloum (3 hours from Dakar). Other famous places can be visited like Casamance (10h from Dakar by boat or 1 hour by plane), and Pays Bassari and Bedick mountains (10 hour by car only).
