as Nouakchott in search of food, water and work placing pressure on already limited infrastructures such as housing and medical centres. The country is also affected by locust swarms which devastate what little food output there is. Volunteers who have worked in the country need to be Arabic, French, Hassynia, Pulaar, Soninke or Wolof speaking and historical projects, apart from the valiant work of the Red Cross who have mobilised food and water parcels during the recurring droughts and famines, have focussed on empowering girls and women in a state where modern day slavery and domestication of females is considered the norm. If you run or know of a volunteer work project in Mauritania let us know by contacting us here. We look forward to hearing from you!
