Program*
The Sudan Volunteer Programme (SVP) is a London-based charity that has been
sending postgraduate and undergraduate volunteers to Sudan to teach English
in universities for the past 14 years. Volunteers gain a valuable insight
into the culture and language of this country - many go on to build their
careers in Sudan. Placements are for a minimum of six months and volunteers
do not need to have any formal teaching qualifications. To apply to be a
volunteer, or for more information about SVP, visit
