VOLUNTEERING - AS NEEDED

Volunteer with Jengo

Jengo is run entirely by volunteers. Some help from Copenhagen, others join us in the field in Longido District, northern Tanzania, where they support our local partners and the women's network.

What volunteers do

Volunteers in the field help our local partners plan and facilitate workshops, collect data and share knowledge. We work alongside the communities - the ideas and decisions stay with them.

What it costs

Volunteers pay their own travel and living costs.
