Much of Sudan is desert especially in the north of the country where there are frequent famines and droughts compounding the problems of a country that became independent from the UK in 1956 only to see years of civil war. This war, though long over,
destroyed so much of the country's infrastructure. As a result,
today Sudan is in 170th place out of 189 countries and
territories in 2019 with levels of poverty and living
standards that are significantly below that of other
Arab states and even low human development.
There is too much history regarding this complex country to go into any detail here, especially regarding its relationship with the breakaway nation of South Sudan in the south and the conflicted area of
Darfur to the west of the country, however the African Volunteer network is not concerned with politics, we focus
solely on volunteer work placements in the countries that span the African continent. As such most
volunteer work in Sudan is about helping students of all
ages, both children and adults alike, learn
conversational English. Other
projects include helping children traumatised by war and
assisting in refugee camps
Please note that many volunteer opportunities in Sudan were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the permanent closure of some volunteer opportunities and restrictions on others. Hopefully things are now beginning to return to normal. If you run or
know of a volunteer work project in Djibouti let us know by
contacting us here. We look forward
to hearing from you!
