Volunteer at Klibur Domin

• Klibur Domin was established in 2000 for people who are sick or disabled and need ongoing hospital treatment. 
• Klibur Domin is located 15kms from Dili in the village of Tibar. 
• Onsite there is a TB unit, a Rehabilitation Department and a home for disabled students who attend a school across the road.
• KD also runs a free dental clinic and community-based programs. 
• Being a volunteer involves living and working closely in a small community and providing support to the staff. 
• Local people are hospitable and make volunteers very welcome.

What do volunteers do?

Klibur Domin seeks volunteers to undertake specific roles.  Some of these are:

• To assist with administrative tasks
• To support the staff in their areas of responsibility
• To assist, organise or lead recreational and creative activities

Volunteers with specific skills, e.g., health care professionals, builders etc. generally work alongside local staff in their area of expertise, teaching specific skills or supporting local staff in their work.

Am I eligible?

Enquiries are welcome from anyone with a desire to assist, from gap year students to retirees. Placements are negotiated according to the needs of Klibur Domin at the time.

For how long?

A minimum placement of three months is preferred, however, where there are good reasons other periods of time will be considered.
