Empowering Women and Girls at Tanzania

This is an empowerment program based in Tanzania. In this program, volunteers with good hearts and an open mind are needed. Empowering Women and Girls is a program designed to strengthen groups who come from a truly heartbreaking background; from being shamed for being HIV positive to abandonment due to assault, and a level of poverty that will be hard for most people from the Western world to imagine. The goals are to help women become self-sufficient and to recruit and help more. Some of the volunteer opportunities are community work, counseling for HIV victims and home victims, palliative care, and youth programs such as healthcare training in schools and communities. This project also involves teaching women skills such as gardening, crafts, English, entrepreneurship, business, IT, and finance. Participation in any of these activities depends on how comfortable you are with tending to the task provided. If you feel uncomfortable with a task, it is okay to be substituted by a member of staff. To volunteer, you need to directly give a $100 contribution to the center.

Volunteering in Tanzania with Wild Vista Expedition was a life-changing experience. I spent time at Tuleeni Children’s Home, where I supported daily activities and shared meaningful moments with the kids. The team at Wild Vista made everything smooth, from logistics to local support. I felt safe, welcomed, and inspired every day. It was more than volunteering, it was family. Highly recommended!
