Who are we?

Global Nomadic was founded in 2009 with a vision of helping young professionals and career-changers gain experience in their field through carefully selected projects abroad or at home. We also offer a range of Volunteer Adventures and Paid Placements.

We cater to a wide range of fields - from medicine and education, to veterinary science and journalism and more - matching you with reputable, worthwhile organisations around the world.

We distinguish ourselves from the traditional ‘gap-year’ and voluntary placement organisations by offering impartial and accurate advice and field placement - without charging a commission. And unlike other sites, our company has personally visited and approved the vast majority of our projects, ensuring the quality of each placement offered. We add no commission to any listing, and ask instead for a placement fee to cover our costs for promoting the projects and providing our services. You will receive full pre-departure support and ongoing assistance throughout your placement from us. We aim to offer a comprehensive, transparent and ethical service.

Working with local NGOs, charities, and communities you will gain will gain the experience and skills needed to further your ambitions while making a difference where it’s needed most.

Global Nomadic Ltd. is UK-registered Company C/N: 06803175

Example Project

Human Rights and Legal Aid - Tanzania

Location: Arusha, Tanzania

Duration: Minimum 1 month, maximum 12 months

Start Dates: Project is ongoing, and you can join at any time, depending upon availability

Benefits:

• Work closely with experienced lawyers and support staff
•  Assist in consultations, raise awareness of Human Rights and belief of the Legal system
• Opportunities for Law / Human Rights professionals and students
• Keywords: Human rights workshops, law internship, civic participation, courtroom experience

The purpose of the program is to ensure the less fortune groups and other who special need are made aware of their rights and these legal rights are adequately protected. The program will also provide psycho-social support to women groups, widows, vulnerable children, orphans and their foster parents.

These rights usually include the right to life, freedom from torture, freedom of movement, the right to an adequate standard of living, freedom of religion, the right to self-determination, the right to participation in cultural and political life, and the right to education. Although laws and their implementations vary, many international – as well as national laws – safeguard the human rights of its inhabitants.

Human rights are political norms dealing mainly with how people should be treated by their governments and institutions. They are not ordinary moral norms applying mainly to interpersonal conduct (such as prohibitions of lying and violence). Human rights are those basic standards without which people cannot live in dignity. To violate someone’s human rights is to treat that person as though she or he were not a human being. In conclusion, human rights belong to all people simply because they are human beings.

The Legal Aid clinics also coach and empower clients with the necessary knowledge for legal and court procedures to enable them to represent their cases in Court.
