    Location

    Tarrafal is a small, laid-back town located on the northern coast of Santiago Island, the largest island in Cape Verde. Known for its beautiful crescent-shaped beach, clear turquoise waters, and surrounding mountains, Tarrafal is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from busier tourist spots. The town has a friendly local vibe, with colourful markets, small cafes, and a strong sense of community. It’s also a place of historical importance, home to the Tarrafal Concentration Camp museum, a reminder of Cape Verde’s colonial past.

    Project Tasks
    • Unique opportunity to interact with the children in building a global community for future generations of stakeholders in addressing various global challenges.
    • Prepare children for their future careers with the addition of character development, literacy and numeracy and a global perspective from participants from all over the world.
    • Meaningful learning experiences for both the participants and the community children.

    Henting fra flyplassen på Nelson Mandela International Airport

    Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Praia International Airport (RAI). You must arrive between Sunday 00:05 to Monday 02:00.

    If arriving outside the pickup times on Sunday, you can book a private transfer and any extra nights for an additional fee.

    Alternatively, if arriving early you could wait at the arrival’s terminal for the pickup time, book accommodation at the airport and meet us during the pickup times or make your own way to the project (we will advise on how to do this). 

    From the airport to the accommodation, it takes 1.15 to 1.5 hours by road.

    Overnatting

    During your stay, you’ll be living in a fully equipped house that offers a comfortable and welcoming home base. Rooms are shared between 4-8 people (single gender) and include fans and bed linen. The bathroom is shared and features Western-style toilets. The accommodation has hot showers, Wifi and lockable rooms, but no safety box or laundry facilities. We suggest a padlock for your bag in the room. You may be able to get your laundry done in town.

    There are ATMs, mini marts, some shops and restaurants available in the city center. There will be plenty of chances to explore the town, including its stunning clear-water beaches, and to join activities and programs with other volunteers—making for a fun and social experience.
