Description
In our daycare centers in Tanzania we offer education, care and support for disadvantaged children and their families. Our facilities are an important point of contact for children whose parents often have no other childcare options that they can afford. As a volunteer in our projects you will have the unique opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of these children. Your main role will be to support the care of the younger children, which includes playing, feeding, singing and learning. You will work closely with the teachers to prepare lessons and provide learning materials. You will also have the opportunity to design the children’s playground and beautify the grounds. Another focus of our projects is to promote your creativity and initiative. We encourage you to contribute your own ideas and offer the children a varied experience. This includes the opportunity to create a timetable for the preschool lessons and organize activities such as gardening or setting up a playground. Your work will help to enrich the lives of these children, create educational opportunities and strengthen the community. At the same time you will have the chance to experience Tanzania’s culture and hospitality first-hand and gain valuable experience. Your creativity, initiative and commitment are extremely valuable in our projects and make a positive difference to children’s lives.
In Tanzania children from poorer families are often unable to attend kindergarten as the fees are a financial challenge for the parents. The program helps children from difficult backgrounds to gain access to education. As malnutrition is also a major health risk in Tanzania, the children receive a meal every day.
