Chad is a landlocked country in the northern area of Central Africa. This Arabic- and French-speaking nation has borders with Libya, Nigeria, Niger, the Central African Republic, and Sudan. Chad is the 7th poorest country in the world with 80% of its 13.6-million-population living below the poverty line. There are numerous NGOs in the country trying to help the local population and the refugees from Sudan’s Darfur region. If you are keen to work there, then you could try contacting one of the many voluntary organisations or NGOs based in the country to ask about career opportunities. Before you sign a contract for a TEFL position in Chad, you should consult the advice of your government’s foreign office regarding working there. Remember to have the full list of vaccinations which are needed for the country – the rabies vaccination sometimes needs a course of injections which require up to a month to complete before you move to Chad.
