Description

As a volunteer you will play a significant role in our construction project by supporting us in various construction projects and renovation work. Our focus is on helping initiatives that are either newly established or looking to expand their facilities to help even more people. Your tasks are varied and range from preparing building materials such as cement to cleaning construction sites and renovating rooms. Vehicles have to be loaded and unloaded, rooms painted and new interior furnishings procured or built.
Our vision is to improve the quality of life of those who benefit from the projects. Be it building schools, women’s shelters or other important facilities that are essential to many communities. You are an incredibly valuable support not only providing physical labor, but also sharing knowledge and skills. Your manual skills or interests are invaluable. Whether you are a bricklayer, carpenter, electrician or a professional in any other field, we can make good use of your help. Even if you don’t have specific experience in construction, you can play an important role by helping with simpler tasks or starting fundraising initiatives. Our vision is to create lasting change in the communities we work in and you can be part of it!

Typical day in a project

Your daily routine depends entirely on the projects you are currently working on. Of course this changes all the time. You are therefore welcome to ask us which construction projects are being worked on during your stay before you apply. We will then make every effort to provide you with comprehensive information and assign you to a project that matches your skills and interests. The project usually takes place two days a week and can be combined with another project such as Day Care or the social work project.

On site: language course and excursions such as safaris can be booked.

All programs can be booked with friends. If you would like to book a program as a group, we recommend that you enquire in advance. Each person must book the project individually.

Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Tanzania.

Tanzania is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.

Please note that in Tanzania all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.

In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, you can join some classes after your program. Your host is happy to support you with all.

Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.

For all programs you have to be covered by foreign health insurance. We will be happy to help you find a suitable insurance policy.
