- Development of income-generating measures to effectively use of the resources available to women, such as harvesting of crops, chicken or goat farming, handicrafts, etc.

Volunteers accompany and assist with the above mentioned activities.

Women's rights & human rights, legal advice

Volunteer placements are possible with a non-governmental organization (NGO) educating women and disadvantaged minorities about their rights and providing free legal advise and legal representation.

The main aim of the organization is to fight poverty and to support the socioeconomic development of disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, the organization conducts campaigns and educational activities to familiarize the local communities with women's rights and human rights and to promote respectful relationships amongst each other.

Volunteers support the NGO in the following areas: law, social work and gender, writing of proposals and reports, media production (including flyers, posters), website updates and translations, writing of texts on relevant topics, news writing, IT support and fundraising.
