Volunteer in Cameroon
Learn more about volunteering abroad in Cameroon!
Under the control of France until 1960, the departure of this colonizer not only left Cameroon with independence, but also with a tangible European legacy and presence. The relationship between Cameroon and France, however, has not decreased the need for volunteer work – like many countries in Africa, Cameroon suffers from innumerable issues: poverty, AIDS, and lack of education, to name a few. Take a glance at the following list of volunteer programs to get a sense for just how many different options you have before you. Whether you’re more comfortable with people or animals, in French or English, a little research will certainly lead you to a program that fits your level of travel, people, and language experience.
Volunteering abroad in Cameroon will not only provide help to those in need, it will be gratifying personally and allow you to fully immerse yourself in a vibrant, lively country with a fascinating history. Known for being friendly and open, Cameroonians will not only usher you into their country, they will ask you to engage, debate, and join in almost any kind of exchange – be it conversation or dance. With main cities whose bustle and character are in some ways as charming as the lush, green beaches of the coast, Cameroon will offer both warmth and diversity, a combination you should not pass up too easily as you select the country in which you would like to volunteer abroad.
