Volunteering in Orphanages in Tanzania

Tanzania and other sub-Saharan African countries are badly affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS. As a result, the number of orphans and street children is growing. Thousands of orphaned children who suffer from extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS, and hopelessness often leave their villages and travel to Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Moshi, and other cities. However, they often end up worse off on the street. Efforts have been made by various local organizations to protect these children by offering much-needed education as well as skills development training. While there are orphanages taking in these kids, they lack resources and are understaffed. Some don’t have enough finances to provide basic needs, including food. Not all of the children attend school due to the lack of sponsors who can pay for uniforms, books, and school supplies. This is why we seek volunteers who can provide financial and physical support to orphanages and shelters in Tanzania. Join us and help in providing a secure, loving environment for vulnerable kids.
