Community Development Volunteering in Tanzania

GIVE’s Tanzania program was genuinely the most life changing experience! All of the locals are the kindest and most welcoming people I have ever met. They allowed us to experience their culture through different activities such as weaving, Swahili classes, and cooking together. The GIVE staff does an amazing job organizing activities that are super cool for us while leaving a positive impact on the community. They always make sure to explain the reasoning behind each thing you do and allow you to understand the importance behind it all. I left this trip with a new appreciation and outlook on life and couldn’t be more thankful!

Volunteering with IVHQ was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I signed up, I felt supported and well-informed. As a first-time traveler I was nervous, but IVHQ made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their guidance before departure, detailed information, and constant communication helped me feel confident and excited about my journey. Once I arrived at my destination, the local team was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They made sure I felt safe, comfortable, and prepared. They were always available to answer questions and offer support, which made a huge difference in adjusting to a new environment. The volunteer work itself was fulfilling and meaningful. I felt like I was contributing to something bigger than myself, and the connections I made with both the local community and fellow volunteers were unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend IVHQ to anyone looking to volunteer abroad, especially if it’s your first time traveling. They combine safety, structure, and genuine impact in a way that makes the experience both personal and powerful. It’s an opportunity to grow, give back, and explore the world in a truly unique way. I’m so grateful I chose to volunteer with IVHQ.
