katesmugsy Kate Baxter Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 217 days ago, April 23rd 2009 | Hi Everyone, | I am hoping to come to Kigali in the summer and I am looking for work with an NGO. I am interested in lots of things - the provision of health care, HIV education, womens access to birth control, developing small business enterprises, human rights, displaced people, etc. I am hoping to work there for at least 6 months, but I am having trouble finding a charty that I feel confident in. I will be travelling alone (female, 24) and was wondering if anyone knew of any NGO that might be willing to take me on board. Ideally, I would like to become really involved with the work. I would appreciate any help, I have spent months looking and either come across dead ends or people offer me work but for one reason or another I don't feel entirely comfortable. I would like to be with an NGO where I would feel safe working, though I don't need anyone to hold my hand, so I don't want to go with a fee paying organisation. Thanks in advance, Kate  Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #2 217 days ago, April 23rd 2009 | Hello Kate |  You could check the Classifieds Forum. Sometimes volunteer organisations advertise there.

It truly is a beautiful country. | I would recommend looking for stuff outside Kigali. I spent 7 days in Ruhengeri, and it was the most wonderful town I've vistited in my life. Take a look at www.projectrwanda.com - they're based in Ruhengeri. Don't know if they have any open positions or not. Good luck! Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 5 | |||||||||||||
