Volunteer trip in Tanzania

November 22, 2025by: Maeva Leclercq - FranceProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in Tanzania

The experience was great. We stayed in very clean houses, and food was included. There was even hot water and a caretaker! For the volunteer programs, I was able to do babysitting, which was fantastic. The veterinary internship was a little less enjoyable. I made friends from all over the world. It was a great social experience!

I had a truly lovely volunteer as a first time volunteer

Volunteering with IVHQ in Tanzania was truly a life-changing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported by both the IVHQ team and the local coordinators. Everything was well-organized — from the airport pickup, to the orientation, to the placement itself — which made me feel safe and confident in a completely new environment. I did childcare, and it was beyond rewarding. The children were full of energy, warmth, and joy, and every day felt meaningful knowing I was making a real difference. The work was hands-on and immersive, giving me a deeper understanding of the community’s needs and culture. Outside of volunteering, I had the chance to explore the incredible beauty of Tanzania — from the vibrant local markets to breathtaking safaris. The people I met, both locals and fellow volunteers, made this journey unforgettable. I can’t recommend IVHQ enough for anyone looking to combine travel with purpose. Tanzania will always have a special place in my heart, and I’m already looking forward to my next volunteering adventure.
