The largest city in East Africa is also one of the most rapidly-growing the world, and as a volunteer in Dar es Salaam, you’ll have the chance to get caught up in the whirlwind of its development. Translated as "Home of Peace," volunteers in Dar es Salaam will learn that it's also home to tingatinga painting, "Bongo Flava" style hip hop, Tanzanian barbeque, some of the best acrobats in Africa, and even Roald Dahl back in the 1930s.

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Dar es Salaam

Why Volunteer Abroad in Dar es Salaam?

Volunteer programs in Dar es Salaam are perfect for those who have an interest in education, health care, women's empowerment, or childcare. Tanzania has been hit hard by the HIV epidemic, and its intersection with high unemployment rates and poverty has lead to an epidemic of child abandonment, too. A volunteer abroad in Dar es Salaam should expect to be involved in work that provides aid for any or all of these crises. 

Volunteering in Dar es Salaam is certainly not for the faint of heart, but your hard work will give way to opportunities for playing hard and chilling hard too. You'll be in close proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro for unbeatable hiking and climbing opportunities. When it's time to relax, the white sand beaches of Zanzibar Island (aka paradise) are within easy reach.

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 !
