As a small charity, we wouldn't be able to achieve all we do if it wasn't for our amazing volunteers! We'd love to hear from you, whether you have an hour a week to spare, can help out intermittently or have bigger plans and would like to volunteer in Africa.

Volunteering in the UK

We have a wonderful team of regular volunteers, but of course we'd always love to have more, and there are a few ways in which you can volunteer with GAGA. Perhaps you'd like to join our bank of regular volunteers to support at an event by selling raffle tickets, serving refreshments, setting up or selling our fantastic beadwork. We also have capacity for office-based volunteers who can support with social media, donor communications and business outreach. Whatever your skills, if you have enthusiasm and want to change lives in marginalised communities in Africa, we'd love to hear from you. 

Volunteering abroad

If you're up for a bigger challenge and have a particular interest in International Development or working in the charitable sector, we'd love to hear from you.  We ensure that we visit our partner projects on a regular basis for monitoring and support.  We have been very fortunate to have had several individuals and groups join us on these visits.  They have carried out various activities, from painting school rooms, creating a vegetable garden, extending a creche building and developing nutrition plans and delivering healthy eating classes and workshops.  Whatever your skills or experience we can find a use for them across our health and education projects.

Here's a taster of what the leader of one of our volunteer groups told us:

The trip was life affirming for us in so many ways. It reminded us of our responsibilities to others, that we are incredibly fortunate to be a part of the life of GAGA, and that more than anything, it was a real privilege to meet community leaders such as Russell, Gael and Dawn. 

I have so many memories of laughter and friendship that I hardly know where to begin.  The kids in first step right, the 500 women who sang at thousand hills, and children screaming and laughing at the same time as you whizzed them around in a wheel barrow are part of my kaleidoscope of memories.
