Description:
We need volunteers in all fields of work. We will be very happy to have you contribute to our strive towards the development of the rural population of Cameroon. No matter your age, sex or level of education (experience), someone in Africa needs your help. We can use teachers, farmers, managers, social workers, health educators, administrators, labourers, computer students etc. If we think that your field of interest is not applicable to what our organisation does, we can link you with schools and organisations in your field. Within Cameroon there are people who need help and can benefit from your expertise in any area from teaching to nursing to administration. Let us know your interest or skills and we can discuss what is the best option for you. Our staff is very willing to give the volunteers free in-country support all through their stay here. We are a non-profit making NGO and do not charge our volunteers any fees. All we require is for our volunteers to pay for their travel, accommodation and feeding cost while here in Cameroon. Please contact us, if you are interested and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Highlights:
The NAVTI Foundation is a non-profit development organization with headquarters in Kumbo, Cameroon. It is named after Mrs. Shudzeka nee Bridget Navti. Bridget Navti was a model citizen in the community and after her death in 2000, her family, together with other members in her community, came up with the foundation to continue working in her honor. "Navti" in our native language Lamnso means "to repair".
