Visiting Malawi is an incredible experience and volunteering with Open Arms will give you a unique view of the country. You will get to know our local team and see the real impact of their work with vulnerable families.
Open Arms is keen for support from volunteers with specialist skills, that can help enhance and improve the services they provide to children and families. These may include:
Individuals with specific skills that they feel will benefit Open Arms are welcome to apply to volunteer by contacting us at hello@openarmsmalawi.org.
If you do not have any of these specific skills, but would like to volunteer your time at Open Arms, we are looking to organise a couple of group volunteer visits each year, where volunteers will be given a project in the community to work on. If you are interested in this please register your interest and let us know your availability by emailing us at hello@openarmsmalawi.org.
Visiting Malawi is a wonderful experience, and volunteering at Open Arms is an opportunity to make new friends and immerse yourself in a rich African culture, and also explore a truly beautiful country. We encourage all volunteers to take advantage of the tourist experiences, such as Liwonde or Majete National Parks, Mount Mulanje, and Lake Malawi. We can help you make arrangements for this and anything else you want to do while in Malawi.
Please contact us for more information.
“My time in Malawi was absolutely amazing. It was hard work, but then I expected it to be. I had such a fantastic time with the other volunteers, the staff, and of course the babies and young people at Open Arms. I can't wait to go back!” - Graeme, Edinburgh
