Volunteering in Africa takes you one step further than the average tourist into the true character of this unique continent. To us, volunteering is a two-way thing. It’s not only about the hands-on help and skills that volunteers bring, but also about what this magnificent continent, its warm people, and fantastic wildlife can give volunteers in return. African Impact is a multi-award-winning volunteer travel organization that runs and manages meaningful and responsible volunteer experiences and internship programs throughout Africa. Founded in 2004 in Zimbabwe, African Impact has grown into a leader in African volunteer tourism, having facilitated over 12,000 volunteers and interns in countries across the African continent. Our internship division is of great importance to us. We firmly believe that ethical internships can play a significant role in helping us achieve our mission of providing exceptional experiences that contribute to worthy causes in a meaningful way.

Building volunteers work in and around Arusha and are involved in helping to construct a variety of different buildings. This includes dormitories for local orphanages and nursery schools in the communities in which we work. Volunteers work alongside the local workmen, assisting with all levels of building and construction. The buildings are made using traditional methods and local materials. The construction techniques are simple to master and are ideal for sites with limited facilities. No electricity is required at the site and only minimal amounts of water and cement are necessary. Projects Abroad is working with the local Maasai communities outside the town of Arusha. The primary focus is the Maasai village of Meserani, which is divided into two areas. Projects Abroad hopes to build two nursery schools to provide much needed education to the younger children in the village. This project will allow us to make a sustainable difference that will not only make a significant impact on the lives of the local children but also benefit the society as a whole.
