Volunteer Work Guinea

Guinea, also known as Guinea-Conakry in order to distinguish it from Guinea-Bissau, is essentially a basket case after years of economic mismanagement and repressive rule, leaving it as one of the poorest countries in Africa standing at 182nd 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.

Despite its natural beauty, the nation has faced challenges such as military coups, ethnic conflicts, and human rights issues although in recent years, Guinea has made efforts toward democratic governance, holding multi-party elections and addressing social concerns.
