There are so many different placements throughout the country, from working in large cities to living in small more remote parts of the continent. We recommend you search our featured placements and see what area appeals to you.

Most jobs are unpaid and it can be tough to get a paid position. This is a developing continent and you will more likely have to pay to get a placement rather than be paid for your work. But there are some international organisations and a selection of small local orgs which will give you a stipend salary for participating. It is also worth considering the fact some companies offer free accommodation and meals. Some other international companies might require you to pay an application fee which usually includes placements, accommodation and in-country support.
