Malawi is often described as the warm heart of Africa due to the friendly people. A Malawi career break is a great choice particularly if you are interested in getting involved in some vital medical voluntary work abroad. As a participant on our Malawi voluntary work programme you can help some of the world's poorest people. The Gap Year for Grown Ups Malawi career break programme focusses on medical and community volunteering at the main community hospital and with the mobile medical team.
Schools in Malawi are seriously under funded with little resources and a lack of trained teachers to educate classes of sometimes up to 200 children. Volunteer help is desperately needed.
Make a vital contribution to a beautiful but impoverished country. Help set up sports training sessions and competitions. A little time will make a lasting difference.
