Volunteering abroad in Tanzania is a rewarding way to help improve conditions for disadvantaged children in Africa. You can contribute towards this important development work during a gap year, career break, or vacation time. Volunteers with skills and experience are welcome but you do not need to have either to volunteer. Energy, passion and a commitment to the underprivileged children that we work with is enough to partake on a placement.

There are thousands of orphans in Tanzania, about 40 percent who have been affected by HIV/AIDS. With an HIV/AIDS prevalence rate at 9 percent and an estimated infection rate that is much higher, the situation is unlikely to improve for years to come. In many of the orphanages and care homes, staff struggle with limited resources to feed, clothe, and educate children in their care. Staff in these facilities often don't have the time to provide the individual love and attention that these children crave, which is where your needs as a volunteer come in.

We have a variety of volunteer abroad opportunities in Tanzania, working in both orphanages and care centers with children aged from 0 to about 14 years old.
