Volunteer Work Seychelles

Given that the Seychelles are made up of 115 different islands; an archipelago paradise that is home to a wide range of wildlife including giant tortoises with good outcomes for children and a buoyant economy based on on tourism and fishing, we had hoped there would be a number of volunteer work placements for us to go out and assess for the African Volunteer Network. This could hopefully take place over a period of months (maybe the UK winter period?) so we could interview in some depth the 99,258 (2021) population of the islands to get their views on the voluntary sector and its impact on the islands. The Seychelles are in 72nd place out of 191 countries and territories in 2021 when ranked in terms of life expectancy, literacy, access to knowledge and the living standards.

As it is, whilst there is a thriving volunteer sector based around conservation, the projects who operate there receive more requests for volunteer placements than they could ever meet and therefore restrict themselves to volunteers of the highest calibre both in terms of outlook, skills and experience. Most projects are also looking for medium to longer term volunteers (minimum of four months) as the work revolves around the project not the needs of the volunteer. Most volunteer project work is also shared by word of mouth so we have few openings to publicize here. These projects focus on community empowerment and working with HIV/AIDS amongst other areas.

Many volunteer opportunities in Seychelles were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the permanent closure of some volunteer opportunities and restrictions on others. If you run or know of a volunteer work project in the Seychelles let us know by contacting us here. We look forward to hearing from you!
