Volunteer and Adventure in Tanzania

While experiencing the rich natural scenic travel spots and globally famous monuments, you can volunteer in Tanzania. Many international volunteers step inside Tanzania for the first time and entertaining them with the adventurous spirit is essential. Although, these volunteers enter into Tanzania to help the people, who suffer due to ill-health, malnutrition, educational inequalities, geographically isolated areas, food insecurity, and culturally different group, adding a pinch of spice can make the trip more memorable, all through their lifetime.

As a volunteer, apart from applying your skills and knowledge to solve everyday challenges, you would gain crucial international work experience and acquire a great deal of leadership and soft skills, develop your self-reliance and acquire new professional skills.

SEDI co-ordinate interns and volunteer visit into a country, and they can participate into the following projects:

Research Project

Participants will be involved and experience with serious problems of food insecurity, HIV/AIDS, unemployment, and poverty plaguing the beautiful country, research and assistance will go a long way and will make a strong impact on the small-scale farmers, youth, women, schools, and orphanages.

Early Childhood Development

SEDI is a non-government organization that respects and champions the rights of all vulnerable children from farmer’s family regardless of gender and faith. SEDI in partnership with volunteers and sponsors aim to train and provide on-going support to principles and care givers at pre-schools from rural areas. This will improve knowledge and ensure quality education to rural communities.

“Your old laptop may be the opportunity of a lifetime, please bring to us”

Women Project:

Women are very vital in helping to fight poverty at the grass roots level. The mothers in the village want to ensure the best for their children and household. The women in the community operate a village community bank, which provides loans for women to start income-generation enterprises. It is ideal for volunteers who are interested in women’s emancipation to get involved in this project and to empower rural women.

Medical Project:

Volunteers can also help to provide medical services to the community. This is ideal for volunteers in the health fields, such as doctors and nurses. Volunteers can help out at local clinics and hospitals. SEDI also welcomes doctors who have mobile medical equipment’s and who can work in the village directly.

Care Projects:

We believe that care is something that is not too small to give. The Care Projects involve the following activities:

• Home Visits: Volunteers and staff visit families in need and get to know them better. This helps organization to get to know the needs of the community, and it also creates a ray of hope for the families. Home visiting also involves distributing basic items to the families in need and befriending the local families.
• Home-Based Care: This entails activities like cleaning the home and its surrounding and putting things in order at a particular homestead to ensure that they enjoy a good living standard. Through this activity, children with learning difficulties are monitored to assess their independence on performing certain tasks like washing, eating, etc.

Farming

Agriculture is the main economic activity in Tanzania; however, some families lack the knowledge and resources needed to support themselves effectively. Improving their agricultural skills and knowledge will greatly reduce poverty in the community.

Volunteers with a background in agriculture and animal husbandry can initiate projects to raise animals such as chicken and pigs; they can also teach better farming practices.
