Recommended TEFL Job – Rwanda experience

This trip will see you experience life in rural Mozambique, whilst building a classroom block at Group Scolaire school, in the village of Shingiro in northern Rwanda. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get involved in improving the access to education for hundreds of local students, whilst developing your leadership skills and connections with like-minded people.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience is run by our Charity of the Year ActionAid, who are working to make a real difference to the lives of people in some of the world’s poorest communities.

No TEFL experience or qualification is required for this experience.
