Volunteer Projects in Africa

Of course, the volunteer work you'll do while in Tanzania is also a key component of the program. On this trip, you'll work with Africa's youngest generation by supporting the English language development of children at a local primary school. Lead lessons, work 1:1, and play educational games that will support learning at this village school. You'll also have the chance to help restore the infrastructure at the school. This is an opportunity to dive into a rural community and experience what life is like in Tanzania!
