Staff members Sheikh Tihami Clinic Kunkujang Keitaya

Sheikh Tihami Ibrahim Nyass Foundation is a solid partner
to work with. Our team consists of more than 40 professionals: doctors, nurses and nurse attendants, midwives, teachers, cooks, orldies, watchmen, drivers…

We offer a broad field of responsible work
in a very friendly environment, with flat hierachies, with plenty of learning opportunities as well as chances to contribute to such a high value as improving a nation’s health status and wellbeing.

At the moment, we currently don’t have any job opportunities to offer.

This is our application process

  • Fill in the form “Checklist: Am I ready for The Gambia?”, and submit to the e-mail stated in the form.
  • Our Foundation’s ambassador in Germany will receive the checklist, and get back to you as soon as possible. Next, she will ask for your CV, your approbation, and a letter of motivation.
  • Next, the ambassador will set an interview appointment to get known to each other.
  • If you and the ambassador agree, that a volunteering journey to The Gambia would be worthwhile, the ambassador would submit your application to our Foundations Executive Committee, which will finally decide.
  • If the Committee gives green light, we will start your journey preparations, including coaching, acommodation, visa and other issues.

Please note

  • We only accept volunteering applications of professionals (no students, sorry).
  • We would prefer your time with us to last at least 2 months to be comfortable for either side.
  • We recommend the dry season (ca. November – April) to avoid medical issues.
  • To work with us, we expect you to sign our Ethic Rules, beforehand.
  • Our partnering Gambian-German based “Health and Education Gambia Charity” will coach you before travelling, and to help you with any inconveniences which might occur.
