Dettagli del programma
We offer support by going on the ground every day, where people are living and staying, to spend time with them, by organising activities (such as arts and crafts and language exchanges), by fulfilling their material needs on an individual basis, and by connecting them to professional organisations for more specialised needs (medical, legal, or psychological). Recognising that “basic needs” includes mental health and well-being, we serve as a moral support, and create dedicated spaces where women can feel comfortable, whether their wish is to talk to someone or to be left alone.
We know that it can be physically and emotionally draining - it is very active and busy and we are outside a lot. The informal camps can be an emotionally challenging environment, especially for people who have never been in this field before. It is really important that people are prepared for these challenges and we offer support to help prepare our volunteers for this as well as during their stay. The help can also be a lot of fun and powerful - we help with some incredible people!
Attività e turni
Typically, volunteers will do a mixture of helping in the field and in our warehouse, with at least 2 days off per week.
Our language as a team is English, so it is important that you are comfortable speaking English. If you speak French, or any of the main languages in the informal camps (e.g. Kurdish Sorani, Farsi, Amharic, Urdu, Arabic amongst many more) that would be a great asset.
Regole
We have a shared volunteer house with a shared living space, kitchen and dining room, toilets and showers as well as a garden space. We have several volunteer bedrooms - it is likely that you will be sharing a room with one other volunteer. It’s very homely, relaxed and friendly - we take turns cooking and eat together most evenings. We share responsibility for doing grocery shopping as well as home chores of cleaning and cooking.
A warm lunch is provided on site for volunteers every work day.
