Volunteer Programs in Rural Areas, Tanzania

Well-organized and available to support. If you are looking for a volunteer program provider who covers everything so you can focus 100% on your volunteer activity, they are a great choice. I assisted teachers in a public primary school where the high student/teacher ratio and the lack of resources make it highly challenging to provide every pupil the quality of education they should receive. They were grateful for my and my fellow volunteer's support and creativity in taking part in teaching and preparing materials.

I had a wonderful experience volunteering in Tanzania. The program was extremely well organized, and we received a lot of support from the coordinators throughout our stay. The volunteer house also had very good conditions (including hot water, reliable internet, and tasty meals) which made day-to-day life comfortable. However, I did notice that a local economy has developed around volunteering, with an expectation that volunteers will contribute financially or bring resources. While this is understandable, it’s something future volunteers should be aware of. Overall, though, it was a very enriching and eye-opening experience that I’m grateful to have been part of.
