Teaching Volunteer Programs in Africa

Before going, I was a little sceptical about whether I’d enjoy this experience or not, and I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make any friends. But little did I know that just one week later, I’d be calling it the best week of my life! I met so many incredible people from all around the world, people I never imagined I’d have the chance to connect with. We shared unforgettable experiences, supported each other, and created memories that I’ll carry with me forever. Beyond meeting amazing people, I also learnt so much about myself. Being in a completely new environment pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow in confidence, independence, and understanding. I discovered how rewarding it can be to give back and to be part of something bigger than myself. The IVHQ application process was super straightforward, and I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the team. The support I received before and during the trip was incredible. They were always quick to respond, and I was regularly checked up on to make sure everything was going smoothly. It made me feel safe and cared for throughout the whole journey. Overall, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It truly changed my perspective, introduced me to lifelong friends, and left me wanting to do even more. I’m already planning my next trip with IVHQ and am 100% doing this again

Volunteering in Tanzania was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness that made me feel part of the community. Every day brought something new teaching children, helping with local projects, and learning about a culture that values connection, joy, and simplicity.
