The Chinese Language Promotion Office, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Commerce and the Chinese Youth Volunteers Association all send some volunteers abroad every year, mainly for medical assistance, agricultural assistance, Chinese teaching, Computer network maintenance and infrastructure maintenance, etc. The general requirements for recruitment are: aged 20 to 35 years old, Chinese nationality, with a bachelor's degree or above, proficient in English listening, speaking, reading and writing; have been engaged in professional or related professional work for more than 1 year; are in good health and have good conduct.

In addition, those who have obtained intermediate technical titles or above may have participated in long-term key volunteer services such as the "Youth Volunteer Poverty Alleviation Relay Program", "College Student Volunteer Service Western Plan", "College Student Volunteer Service Plan for Poverty-stricken Counties", and the "Three Supports and One Support" Program Those who pass the project and assessment will be given priority.

I suggest you go to the website of the Foreign Aid Department of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Commerce. If you don't know the URL, just search "Foreign Aid Department" on Baidu.

Some large companies, such as Sinopec, PetroChina, China Construction, China Railway and China Railway Construction, etc., have signed a large number of large-scale projects in some countries. As additional conditions of the contracts, these large companies need to provide some free assistance locally. , such as medical and infrastructure, etc. Moreover, these large companies also need certain Chinese teaching personnel to teach local employees Chinese so that they can communicate with Chinese personnel. Therefore, these enterprises need certain foreign aid personnel. As for how they recruit specifically, I don't know. You can contact these units to ask, or ask relatives and friends who work in these companies.

Some international organizations, especially those engaged in humanitarian relief, such as Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society, will also recruit personnel from around the world. If you have the ability to do these tasks, you can contact them directly. They have an official website.

If you want to provide foreign aid, you must first figure out what kind of work you want to do, what abilities and conditions you have, your work experience, etc., and then the destination country. African countries have more complicated languages, such as English, French, etc. Yes, your foreign language proficiency must be passable, at least English must be passable. If you rely on assistance, the environment in many places will be very bad, so you must be mentally and physically prepared.

If you want to know more specifically, you can find some people online who have had experience in foreign aid or who are currently assisting foreign countries.
