Volunteer Vacation in Tanzania
Contribute to Life-Enhancing Community Projects. The Serengeti Plain, the Great Ruaha Rift, and the Masai and Hehe tribes - these natural and cultural wonders of Tanzania can transport you to a world without pressures or worries. Sadly, the human realities within this beautiful region are startling: High infant mortality, poor health care, and low literacy rates stemming from extreme poverty.
In the Iringa district, needs are immense and resources are few. Volunteer in Tanzania, and teach classroom subjects, upgrade community buildings, and help plant and maintain school gardens. Here's a place where individuals, groups and families can make a significant difference - share your skills in elementary and secondary classrooms, a rural dispensary, or assist local leaders with hand washing and hygiene campaigns. Join our team and become a lifeline as a volunteer in Tanzania!
