Work in Orphanage in Tanznaia

Project Summary

A country affected by extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS and lack of opportunities, orphan kids of Tanzania need immediate help and support. Your participation in an orphanage project is not only appreciated by kids but also by orphanage administration. A good portion of participation fee directly goes to the orphanages which help them to run program smoothly. Orphanage work is a great project to share your love, passion, and help as it goes to people who need it the most. IFRE orphanage projects are located in Dar and Arusha, two major cities of Tanzania .

Skill/Qualification

There are no specific qualifications needed to join the orphanage volunteer project in Tanzania . However, volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient. You should have passion and love for children and believe you can act as a healthy role model.

Volunteers responsibilities:

As a volunteer in the orphanage project in Tanzania , you will teach English (3-4 hours a day) in the orphanage or school (when the kids go to schools during the day). You will help kids to stay clean by helping them in brushing teeth, shower, and personal hygiene. In free time, mostly in evening, you organize games, drawing, singing, dancing, and other creative education and extra curricular activities. In the evening time, you will help kids to do homework, monitor academic progress, and make sure kids complete their next day's homework. If you do not want to teach in the school during day time, then you can offer to take care of the children who stay at the orphanage (who can not go to school). Your help is also expected in dressing of kids, food distribution, kitchen, garden, cleaning and administrative work.

Room/Food

IFRE arranges room, food, and supervision for volunteers from the start to the end of your program. During first week of language and cultural program, volunteers stay in our hostel in Dar es Salaam . Our office/hostel is located in Dar es Salaam giving access to volunteers to different parts of the city. Our manager and his wife are managing our hostel and office. They will run the language program and manage local Tanzanian food 3 times a day for you.

During volunteering period, volunteers stay in host family. However, volunteers joining the orphanage project will stay within the orphanage compound. We arrange a separate room and a shared bath for volunteers both in host family and in the residential orphanage settings. You can find the details of the room/food accommodations in the placement sheets. IFRE's main office is in Dar es Salaam . However, the director of the local project will be our immediate contact for volunteers.
