Welcome to AJUDE website!

Dear Volunteer

We would like to welcome you to Mozambique for a volunteer year of 2008 – 2009. AJUDE/ICYE Mozambique is a youth organisation, run by young dynamic and helpful people, and we are responsible for your year here. Most of the members running AJUDE have participated in exchange programs similar to ICYE or are former exchangees of ICYE and have lived and volunteered abroad. You will meet many of those members during your exchange year in Mozambique.

Welcome to AJUDE

AJUDE is The Youth Association for Development of Volunteer Service in Mozambique. AJUDE is a non-profit organisation which brings together young people of Mozambique without distinction of race, sex, religion, tribe, level of education or any other way of discrimination. AJUDE’s origin dates back to 1993 when a group of students of the Higher Institute for International Relations formed this organisation with the main objective to actively participate in the reconstruction of Mozambique after a long and destructive civil war.

What is Mozambique for Us?

Mozambique is facing many social problems and for you, as a volunteer there are a lot of activities to get involved in.
But Mozambique is much more than the misery you might have been watching on your TV, in magazines or movies. What you will encounter when coming here is the friendliness of the people, the rich culture, exciting history, beautiful nature with some of the best coral reefs and beaches in the world.
