Volunteer Opportunities

We use volunteers in some areas of our work. All our volunteers have found their time worthwhile, challenging and stimulating. The Kilimanjaro region is very beautiful and many of our volunteers have climbed the mountain. It really is the experience of a lifetime.

Our needs for volunteers change. If you have a skill or would like to help, please contact us and we can discuss the possibilities.

Volunteers to provide teacher training

We need experienced teachers to provide In-Service Training, guiding Tanzanian primary school teachers in their development. Experience of teaching English as a foreign language is of the most use in our programme.
