Overview
In our teaching program, volunteers support schools in Arusha's disadvantaged areas. Education is highly esteemed in Tanzania, and children enthusiastically welcome the presence of volunteers. Many schools lack adequate funding, making it a challenge for some students to afford tuition fees, uniforms, meals, and supplies.
Volunteers assist with classroom activities, homework, teacher support, and teaching various subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. While formal teaching qualifications are not required, prior teaching or childcare experience is valuable. Proficiency in English is recommended. A $50 extra fee directly benefits the schools. Our program fees cover airport pickup, accommodation, meals, and a taste of Tanzanian cuisine. Program start dates are on the 1st and 15th of each month, offering a chance to make a lasting impact on young learners.

Important Information
THINGS TO BRING, DONATIONS, SPONSORSHIPS
What can I bring?
You are not required to bring anything to your volunteer placements, but if you feel like donating and sharing it will be appreciated. There are many needs due to the limited resources schools have ranging from stationeries and books to school facilities and other requirements.
Can I Sponsor a child’s education?
Yes you can! In the schools we place our volunteers, some of the children at these schools have been unfortunate to lose a parent, in most cases the provider; or both. These children become victims, they can not give up but they face hardships in their education such as lacking school fees, uniforms, school materials and they cannot provide for themselves, they still need support. Such challenges add up to the child’s mental stress which hinders their performance in class, and the likelihood of being expelled from the school.
The options are flexible to your ability. Every academic year has three terms. If your funds are limited but still wish to sponsor a child’s education, you have the option to pay per term.
You can sponsor a child’s education for a year, for several years or all their educational years in Primary or Secondary school or both.
Other things to bring are those for your personal use like decent clothes, sunscreen, soap, towels, slippers etc.
