    Om programmet

    This program is suited to flexible, enthusiastic volunteers who enjoy teamwork and are committed to grassroots community support. The women’s education and empowerment project in Tanzania makes a meaningful difference in the lives of women facing gender inequality in Arusha. Volunteers gain valuable experience by supporting and teaching women, helping them acquire new skills that can lead to employment and greater self-sufficiency.

    Volunteers play a crucial role in helping women acquire skills that improve their chances for employment and self-reliance.

    Gender equality remains a significant issue in Tanzania, where many women face challenges such as domestic violence, homelessness, and HIV/AIDS, often accompanied by societal stigmatisation. You can make a substantial impact by providing education and support, helping these women become more self-sufficient.

    Working with a local NGO focused on empowering women, you’ll assist in equipping them with skills for health and financial independence. Your activities may include:

    • Teaching English, health, and business classes
    • Distributing menstrual pads to women and girls (when available or through fundraising)
    • Assisting with projects that teach women how to breed chickens for income
    • Helping women secure financing for start-up businesses
    • Teaching women how to cook
    • Assisting with jewellery creation
    • Providing childcare

    This project is ideal for volunteers with experience in business, health, or education, as these skills can enhance your support. However, anyone who is open-minded and interested in supporting disadvantaged women is welcome.

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    There are many exciting places to explore in the surrounding areas, here are just a few!

    Ngorongoro Conservation Area

    Home to the Ngorongoro Crater, this stunning area of vast plains, green forests and wild savannahs, sits next to the Serengeti National Park. You will see the highest concentration of animals here from lions, zebra, wildebeest and elephants. The views from the crater are absolutely stunning, with an atmospheric mountain backdrop. This should be at the top of your bucket list for Tanzania!

    Serengeti National Park

    Another one for your bucket list and a perfect way to spend your weekend off. The Serengeti is home to an abundance of wildlife, including the big 5 (lion, rhino, leopard, buffalo & elephant). You will also find zebra, wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, baboons, hyenas, ostriches and many more incredible animals. The best way to explore is by camping out in the open or in one of the many lodges. The area is huge, and we recommend at least 2 days here.

    Moshi and Mount Kilimanjaro

    Moshi is about a two and half hour drive from Monduli and can be easily reached using a “dala dala” or taxi to Arusha and then changing again onto Moshi from there.

    Moshi is a quiet town with several Western cafes and coffee shops. It is also the closest town to the starting point of the Mount Kilimanjaro trek. On a clear day, you can get excellent views of Kilimanjaro right from the roadside (Tip: Moshi Train Station, which is no longer is use, has fantastic views of Africa’s highest mountain, with locals selling drinks and snacks up the top).

    Arusha National Park and Mount Meru

    Mount Meru is located in Arusha National Park and is the second largest mountain in Tanzania. If you’re looking to Climb Kilimanjaro ,then Mt Meru can be a great acclimatisation trek, taking you through various types of vegetation. There are also scenic trails around the mountain at ground level. Other attractions include Meru Crater, the Jekukumia River, Ngurdoto Crater and the Momelia Lakes which are known to change colour! You might even find wildlife here including giraffes, warthogs, cape buffaloes, lions, elephants, flamingos and more.

    Zanzibar

    A little further afield, it is still possible to fly to Zanzibar for a weekend from Arusha (although several days here would be ideal). Zanzibar is known for its sandy white beaches, turquoise water and unique culture. Stone Town is an interesting town, known for its mazes and spices. Other things to do is a visit to Prison Island, where prisoners were once held but is now home to giant tortoises. You can also spot dolphins and try snorkelling off the island. The North and East of Zanzibar have some of the best and cleanest beaches in the world.
