Discover Volunteering in Tanzania with IVHQ

An amazing and rewarding experience. Working in childcare and going into the local school was so special and eye-opening. Everything was well organised and the connections made with the children, staff and community made the trip truly unforgettable.

Volunteering in Zanzibar was a truly transformative experience. Beyond contributing to educational and community projects, I had the chance to connect closely with the local culture, learn from the warmth of its people, and experience a simple and authentic way of life. Working with children and families allowed me to feel that, even in a small way, I could make a meaningful impact. Zanzibar offered not only breathtaking landscapes, but also deep human connections and a renewed perspective on solidarity and the power of small actions.

This was my first time traveling out of the country and my first time traveling by myself. Throughout the whole experience I knew what to expect, knew how to prepare for my trip and was connected to wonderful people who made the experience stress free. Everyone was able to answer questions I had like when to book my flight, what documents I needed for my travel, who I should contact if I needed anything, and overall everyone was happy to help! When I arrived to my destination, everything exceeded my expectations! Everyone was so welcoming and everything was organized perfectly. We were able to get to know everyone who we were staying with, we got to walk around different markets and places and the best part of my trip was going to the daycare I was volunteering at. I had the best time spending the day with all the kids, playing, learning to read and write, and I also enjoyed spending time with the daycares director. She was very sweet and help, shared her story and we truly got to bond. Overall, the whole process starting with the application, traveling there and arriving there was a smooth process and all the information I needed was given to me!
