Volunteer Work Tunisia

Tunisia isn't exactly a hot spot for volunteer work in Africa not least because it is 98% Arab and Arab speaking and not exactly poor coming in at position 97 out of 191 countries and territories when ranked in terms of life expectancy, literacy, access to knowledge and the living standards of a country in 2021. Tunisia isn't exactly a hot spot for volunteer work in Africa not least because it is 98% Arab and Arab speaking and not exactly poor coming in at position 97 out of 191 countries and territories when ranked in terms of life expectancy, literacy, access to knowledge and the living standards of a country in 2021 It was also ruled undemocratically by President Ben Ali until he was forced to flee to Saudi Arabia in what was known as the "Arab Spring" of 2011. The only real change since then as Tunisia emerges as a fledgling, hesitant democracy has been the fall in foreign income from tourism.

Most volunteer work in Tunisia, such as there is, tends to be met within Tunisia itself; i.e. just like in any other developed country where needs are identified they are met by volunteer groups arranging then deploying their own resources internally. One exception to this is the Tunisian Red Crescent who are primarily engaged in working delivering humanitarian aid around Tunisia's borders with Libya where the ongoing conflict within Libya is piling pressure on and around the border area.

Please note that what few volunteer work opportunities in Tunisia there were, 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 Tunisia let us know by contacting us here. We look forward to hearing from you!
