As a volunteer with a project for the disabled, you can help in either the training or rahabilitation or both of the physically disabled. Disabled people lack human rights, social integration and basic support in Africa, largely due to myths and severe lack of understanding amongst local communities regarding people with disabilities. Very often disabled persons are excluded and hidden from society under the assumption that they are a burden and unable to contribute anything of value. Other societies and cultures see them as a curse and are made outcast. Rehabilitation and training centers for disabled are places where disabled individuals can recieve nutrition, education, healthcare, physiotherapy care and have an opportunity to learn a vocation or skill to enable them make a living when they have been integrated into the society successfully. By providing care, support and physiotherapy exercises for the disabled, or teaching, a volunteer is so much needed to support the under-staffed centers.

This project is open to any interested person willing to serve in the field of social care

The project is available in several communities in all the countries and open all year round to take volunteers for any period of stay from 1 week.
