Volunteer Opportunities
We use volunteers in most 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.

Volunteers for our Vocational Training School
We need skilled craftspeople, preferably with experience of teaching building, carpentry, or art & craft. Please email us giving your qualifications and circumstances and we will discuss the options with you.
Volunteers for English Language teaching in village schools
If you want to live in an African village community for eight months or more, and want to help the smiling children get a better start in life, then this is the experience for you. We need gap year or post-university students for this project. We take about ten students each year. You would be teaching basic English in a Tanzanian village primary school, and organising extra-curricular activities of your choice - football, netball, music, drama, art, etc. The schools are 1,500 metres up the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in the lush countryside below the mountain forest. You would accompany pupils on school outings to a National Park and to the Indian Ocean. In the school holidays you can climb the mountain, visit Zanzibar, or travel further afield.

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 would be useful.
Please contact us giving your qualifications and circumstances and we will discuss the options with you.
