Volunteer Work Eritrea
Free and paid volunteer work opportunities in Eritrea with details and listings of volunteer work programs and projects in Eritrea. Okay, let's jump straight in here. Looking for volunteer work in Eritrea will probably never be an issue for you ~ not least because it's known as the North Korea of Africa and one of the most secretive states in the world. It's certainly not considered a stable country due to ongoing political repression, human rights abuses, economic hardship, and tense relations with neighboring countries. Additionally, the government maintains a one-party state with arbitrary rule of law, a lack of independent media, and mandatory indefinite military service. Border tensions with Ethiopia and Sudan, coupled with high levels of forced migration and a weak economy, also contribute to instability. | |
So, you've probably guessed by now that here at the African Volunteer Network we're not in the employ of the Eritrean Tourist Board! The reality is, there is simply no meaningful volunteer work sector in Eritrea and what there is, is normally external organisations like the Red Cross providing grudgingly accepted humanitarian relief or support organisations for the many Eritreans who have left their homeland. When volunteer opportunities do become available, Eritrea understandably prioritises certain sectors for development and, by aligning skills with these national priorities, volunteers can fill critical gaps and transfer valuable knowledge, helping to empower local professionals and communities.
