Volunteering in Zanzibar

Zanzibar, located off the coast of Tanzania, is a beautiful group of islands. While it’s not a large archipelago, Zanzibar is surrounded by turquoise waters and breathtaking views. Small, gray dhoni or boats with a partially covered roof are your only ride to any of the region’s islands. Pemba Island is known for its lush, green hills and abundant marine life. The capital, Zanzibar City, features European, Arabic, and Indian influences in various aspects – architecture, culture, and cuisine. The famous “Stone Town” in the old quarter is a World Heritage Site and popular amongst tourists.

Have plenty of opportunities to explore Zanzibar by joining our volunteer projects in a range of fields: healthcare, health education, nursing, and women empowerment. You can focus on a specific placement or join more than one to make the most of your time. And in your free time, you can visit pristine beaches, explore different islands, and visit small fishing villages.
