Tanzania Community Volunteers

Being a volunteer in Tanzania is rewarding as Tanzania is beautiful and it’s the place for some of the very best big game watching in Africa. So it’s a great choice if wildlife’s your thing.

But it’s also a country with many problems and much disadvantage. It’s not the poorest country in Africa, but life expectancy is low – on average people don’t live much beyond their late forties – and there are more than a million HIV and AIDS sufferers. The majority of Tanzanians are subsistence farmers and there is a great deal of poverty in the urban areas. So it’s a country where you have the opportunity to do something meaningful and help local people build better lives for the future. Being a Tanzania volunteer is one way of really doing something rather than just talking about it.

You will be near Dar-es-Salaam – the largest and most cosmopolitan city in Tanzania and one of the fastest growing cities in Africa. As you’d imagine, it’s noisy, bustling and diverse, with great wealth alongside grinding poverty and it’s also on the gorgeous ocean coast – an enticing prospect for your time off. So quite apart from the impact you can make, it’s a lively and interesting place to spend gap year time.
