In Tanzania, around 4 million children under 14 do not have access to adequate care. As a volunteer, you can get involved in institutions that counteract this. Volunteering placements are possible for anyone interested in motivated, as well as internships, for instance for students of social work or education.
With us, you have the opportunity to support a project for children and young adults with various impairments. Unfortunately, these people still face many challenges in Tanzanian society: stigmatization and prejudices are omnipresent and government support is insufficient. A large number of disabled children and young adults are not adequately cared for. We want to change that!
Staff shortages make school and kindergarten work very difficult for educators in Tanzania. Through your volunteer work in a kindergarten, you can support the local teams. You will help prepare work materials, supervise homework, or simply spend time with the children. In this way, you will help relieve the burden on the local system.
The mostly single women and mothers in our projects come from difficult living conditions characterised by domestic violence and stigmatisation by Tanzanian society due to HIV/AIDS. We support the women with various initiatives so that they can find their way back to an independent and self-reliant life.
With us, you have the opportunity to support local kindergartens and primary schools in Arusha. Access to education and the associated educational opportunities for children in Tanzania depend very much on the income of their parents. Therefore, not all children get the same opportunities. In our projects, you support the teachers in their daily work.
The projects help to improve the quality of life of children and adolescents with mental and physical disabilities and their families. They provide educational opportunities as well as various therapy services. Volunteer placements are possible in the areas of special education, remedial education as well as in physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
