Program Overview

Tanzania is an enchanting East African destination where the majestic peak of Mount Kilimanjaro meets the tropical soul of the Indian Ocean. By participating in our programs, you’ll move beyond the typical safari trail and immerse yourself in the heart of local culture. Whether you’re on a gap year, a medical internship, or a summer break, you’ll find yourself part of a vibrant community where your work addresses real, local needs.

Based in the lively city of Arusha, you can choose from a wide variety of impactful projects. Dive into the action by constructing classrooms on a Building Project, promoting gender equality through Women's Empowerment, or teaching English to support early childhood development. For aspiring healthcare and legal professionals, our internships in Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery, Dentistry, and Human Rights provide first-hand experience in a unique professional setting. To truly live like a local, you’ll stay with a welcoming host family.

Spend your weekends on a safari through the Ngorongoro Crater or escape to the enchanted, white-sand beaches of Zanzibar. Throughout your journey, our full-time local staff are available 24/7 to support you.

We had the best time of our life !

We came in this program as a school doing volunteering. We did construction work on a school. The work was nice, the team was patient and kind. Kids and teachers from the school were awesome. The activities were great ! We did Safari, coffee tour, waterfall hike, restaurants, massai market, dancing class, … Our students had so much fun ! We were staying in family houses. We had a great time sharing moments with them. And most of all, Glory and her team from project abroad were amazing ! So nice, helpful and kind. At the end we had trouble with delated flight and the team was there for us, spending time to help us to find solution and coming to meet people from the airport. We felt appreciated and cared. I would recommend this amazing experience and everybody from our school was really sad to leave this incredible experience !

Mon incroyable expérience en Tanzanie

Mon voyage en tant que volontaire dans une école pour jeune enfant à Arusha a été tout simplement magnifique. J'ai vécu une expérience que je conseille à tout le monde ! J'ai été accueillie pour toute la population comme si je faisais partie de leur famille, tant par ma famille d'accueil, que par le personnel de l'école ! Je ne remercierai jamais assez Project Abroad pour tout ce qu'ils ont fait. Du début à la fin de ce voyage, le personnel a été là pour répondre à toutes mes demandes, ainsi que pour me rassurer ! Avec la compétence de cet organisme, tout est organisé de la plus belle des manières.
