Volunteer Work Angola

There are limited volunteer work opportunities in Angola not least because the twenty-seven year civil war that raged until 2002. That war left landmines strewn throughout the country meaning few visitors venture outside the capital city of Luanda for fear of literally being blown up. Angola is in 148th place out of 191 countries and territories in 2021 when ranked in terms of life expectancy, literacy, access to knowledge and the living standards of a country with a life expectancy for males and females of 62.26 years (2020) but this is partly due to the effects of war. Angola has one of the highest infant mortality rates of any country in the world and a half of all children in the country live below the poverty line with just over half of the child population having access to safe water supplies. Despite this, the volunteer sector doesn't really have any hold in Angola.
