A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Tanzania
Locations
Tanzania boasts an extensive array of game reserves and national parks and is surrounded by beautiful coastline with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Located in the far east of Africa, Tanzania is home to nearly 48 million people and numerous ethnic groups. From the largest city of Dar es Salam to the island of Zanzibar and back to the most well-known tourist hub of Arusha and everything in-between, Tanzania has no shortage of communities in need.
More than 80 percent of the population live in rural towns and the unemployment rate is not far of matching this figure too. The Arusha region is the centre of the northern Tanzania safari circuit and is home to over 1.5 million people. Although day to day life as a volunteer in Arusha city will be very hustle and bustle, you do not need to travel very far to come across the Maasai warriors, stick in hand, herding their cattle and goats or the Maasai women laced in beads and cloth making crafts in there grass thatched huts.
When seeking volunteer work in Tanzania it’s not about where to start your volunteer efforts but when. Each and every person can make a difference as a volunteer in Tanzania, whether it’s providing education or insight into a new language, showing care love and affection or providing others the inspiration to volunteer too.
