Tanzania

Tanzania is one of the most beautiful and politically stable countries in East Africa. It borders Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda and Mozambique and contains some of Africa's finest game reserves (Ngorongoro, Serengeti) as well as the roof of Africa: Mount Kilimanjaro.

From Zanzibar on the coast, to the fabulous bush scenery near Arusha, there is no better way to experience Africa in safe and happy surroundings.

1. What projects are available in Tanzania?

This is by far our biggest programme with more volunteers, more locations and a wider range of opportunities than any other country. We offer two main types of programme:

Teaching children (primary and secondary schools) and adults in the Arusha region - in the shadows of Mt Meru - as well as other wonderful programs with the Massai in Longido, on the coast at Pangani and in the beautiful Pare Mountains.

Business development in Arusha where volunteers can help with small businesses and micro-finance alongside the Tanzania Capital Boosting Association (TCBA) and assist HIV / AIDS victims with the MondoChallenge HIV Grant Programme (HOPE Trust fund in Ngaramtoni and MAISHA Trust fund in Moshi).

2. Are there any special requirements for volunteers in Tanzania?

We have a minimum age of 22 for all of our projects in Tanzania but, if you are 18 - 21, please look at the other programs we have available in The Gambia, Asia and South America.

We also require a minimum of 4 years business experience to participate in a business development scheme.
