Volunteering in Tanzania

Support children at a day care centre in Africa

Assistant at day care centre in Tanzania

The NGO (non-profit non-governmental organization) committed to young women and young children from difficult social and economic backgrounds. The organization opened a new community center in 2016 to be as close as possible to its target audience and provide help where it most needed. The Day Care Center is located in Arusha's densely populated Mianzini district.

Collaboration is perfect for creative and imaginative volunteers who not only want to be active in the field of childcare, but also want to play an active role in the development of the center through fundraising, public relations and administrative assistance.
Volunteers demand a lot of creativity and initiative. Work experience can be beneficial here, but no specific knowledge is required and volunteers of all ages and educational background are welcome. It is important to have the right attitude and an independent mindset and ability to recognize problems as a challenge and not as an obstacle.

Working hours & areas

Working hours and everyday working life are largely flexible, which is especially beneficial for volunteers who would like to work independently and prefer a free time schedule.

Care and teaching of preschool children, who are cared for by the KHM (8-13 o'clock) like child-friendly teaching and project work, First numbers and letters, basic English, songs and games as well as implementation of methods of playful learning.

Tutoring of young people who come to the center after school in the afternoon to continue learning (until about 16.30).
Fundraiser to renovate and expand the center for example design of the classrooms with pedagogically meaningful material.
Public Relations: updating homepage profiles for and Facebook page to keep sponsors up to date and gain future backers. This includes the creation and updating of profiles for children who are looking for international sponsors (there is a small office available for work, but it is advantageous to bring your own laptop and USB stick for public relations).
