Community Building Project in Tanzania with Projects Abroad

Building volunteers work in and around Arusha and are involved in helping to construct a variety of different buildings. This includes dormitories for local orphanages and nursery schools in the communities in which we work. Volunteers work alongside the local workmen, assisting with all levels of building and construction. The buildings are made using traditional methods and local materials. The construction techniques are simple to master and are ideal for sites with limited facilities. No electricity is required at the site and only minimal amounts of water and cement are necessary. Projects Abroad is working with the local Maasai communities outside the town of Arusha. The primary focus is the Maasai village of Meserani, which is divided into two areas.

Program Highlights
The work of the volunteers is varied but may include digging foundations, mixing cement, building walls, constructing roofs, plastering, or putting the finishing coat of paint on a completed house.
The building work takes place early in the morning and late in the afternoon so you'll have plenty of time to get involved in township life.
The building project allows us to make long-term improvements in the local communities, whether by building a new classroom for school children or a new bedroom at an orphanage.
Whether you're a student on summer vacation, taking a gap year, or looking for a career break, if you want to get your hands dirty & see physical results volunteering abroad, this project may be ideal
Volunteers live with local families in the area.

Enrichissement culturel et humain.
April 02, 2024by: DEMONET COLA NadègeProgram: Community Building Project in Tanzania with Projects AbroadJe retiendrai de ce voyage l'enrichissement culturel et humain, les échanges avec les Tanzaniens : ceux de l'école/du chantier, de l'organisme ProjectsAbroad, des familles d'accueil. Et par ailleurs les liens qui se sont crées avec les jeunes que nous avons accompagnés, l'ouverture d 'esprit et la curiosité que cela leur a procurées.
Thank you for choosing Projects Abroad! We are pleased to read that you enjoyed your trip to Tanzania :)
Lifetime experience in 2 weeks
August 23, 2023by: Ansgar von HalenProgram: Community Building Project in Tanzania with Projects AbroadIn summer 2023 I was a volunteer in Tansania. It was the best I could do, I will never forget it. And I’m happy I did it with Projects Abroad. The preparation and organization was on top. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the host family’s meals were very delicious and the rooms clean. Furthermore the trips we did on weekends were super cool, my personal highlight was the waterfall at the Kilimanjaro. I can only recommend everyone to do this, it was life changing.
