Answer 1

No NGO can afford to fly you to Africa to volunteer for a few months.

You may be able to get your airfare paid for by a church or some other sponsoring organization.

Answer 2

If you're only able/willing to work for 3-4 months, your chances are very slim. If you're able to work for 6+ months (more preferably 12-24 months) you'll have more luck.

We  need more details on where you live. There's a program in Canada that needs medical personnel in Lesotho, but this program just takes Canadians. Check out Doctors Without Borders. You don't need to be a dr in order to go overseas with them.
