Volunteer with us

While our long-term priority is to create employment opportunities within our organisation, we also offer the chance for those who are passionate about our mission to join our volunteer programme.

Cuida d’bo partners up with Volunturismo for international volunteer opportunities. Volunturismo launched in 2019, integrating voluntary efforts with sustainable tourism on São Vicente Island. In collaboration with local and international NGOs, Volunturismo creates a unique blend of meaningful volunteer work and responsible tourism, with a strong emphasis on respecting local identities and cultures. Beyond providing assistance, Volunturismo aims to foster personal connections and contribute to building a more resilient and self-sufficient society. Through their programmes you can actively participate in our on-the-ground activities.

For more information about the programmes, pricing, and other details, please visit their website.

We are seeking volunteers from diverse backgrounds. We particularly welcome individuals with medical expertise to assist in our data collection and guidance activities with local women, as well as to help expand our local research to strengthen the impact of our work. However, we are open to volunteers from all fields who share our values and are committed to getting involved in our awareness-raising campaigns.
If you are interested in volunteering with us, please fill out the form below. Volunturismo will contact you to complete the official registration process.

VOLUNTEERING STORIES

Lígia & Teresa

Volunteers in March 2024

“Volunteering to raise awareness of breast cancer was an incredibly rewarding and life-changing experience. This cause involved us in a significant way and showed us the importance of awareness and the importance of early detection through self-examination.

We had the opportunity to take part in various awareness-raising activities in schools, prisons and door-to-door, noting the involvement of local people, asking questions and being willing to book preventive examinations.

Every moment with this community was an opportunity to learn, grow and contribute in some way to making a difference. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to such a meaningful cause.”

“Cuida d’bo is a very important and complete project: passing on/reminding people of information, leaving contacts for possible help and socialising!

I’ve always identified with this type of project, even though it’s not my field, because I also learn and do the things I like best: talk to other people and get to know new realities.

Looking for possible misinformation, helping with self-screening, showing willingness to listen to cases and life stories is one of the aims of this project. And I think that goal is achieved by each and every volunteer!

Cuida d’bo is a huge success with the people around it and improves with every volunteer.

Cuida d’bo will stay in a little piece of my heart!”
