This volunteer program takes place in Arusha, Tanzania and brings veterinarians, animal health experts, and final-year students into communities to support humane, practical animal-welfare education. Volunteers work with Voices for Animal Welfare (VfAW), an international NGO connecting Africa and Europe to advance animal protection.

You will help prepare teaching materials, lead sessions in schools and community settings, and assist with awareness events. The role is fully teaching-focused and does not involve surgery. Fieldwork is varied, so flexibility and cultural adaptability are important.

This placement is ideal for volunteers with training or experience in veterinary medicine, animal health, or animal care. Practical experience with farm animals or pets is especially useful. Volunteers receive safety and cultural orientation and ongoing support throughout their stay.

Make a meaningful impact while gaining field experience in a cross-cultural environment.
