FREE VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES IN TANZANIA
Doing volunteer work in Africa can be one of the most rewarding and best investments you can make with your time. A volunteer is someone who performs a service for free. Although the type of service can vary widely, many volunteer opportunities provide a vital benefit to the community and to the individual organizations assisted, since without the support of volunteers, a lot of programs or services could not take place.
Helping Others
People have many reasons for doing volunteer work in Africa. Many want to help others and some are looking for ways to be involved or to make the world a better place. Desires for activism, community building, and self-exploration can also be fulfilled through volunteering. Connect with the African community and be a part of the various cultures, activities, issues, etc. that you may never experience otherwise.
People who do volunteer work in
Africa get first hand information about the problems facing Africa like poverty,
hunger, malnutrition, disease, unemployment and environmental degradation. This
has been caused by illiteracy, ignorance, high population growth rate, declined
rate of manufacturing, excessive exportation of raw materials, unfair
international trade, primitive and un-mechanized methods of agriculture,
corruption, political instabilities and unjust world economic order.
If you enjoy traveling around the
world, trying new things, and exploring various cultures, you might consider
volunteering in Africa. Similar to working abroad, you will have the
opportunity to see the world with a purpose while changing it for the better.
Unlike paid employment, volunteering provides a more flexible schedule and
varying time commitments. International volunteer projects generally fall under
four main categories: community development, education, eco-environmental work
and social welfare. By volunteering in Africa, you may learn a new language or
experience a new culture and way of life.

ABOUT
THE PROJECT: Neema House, Arusha, was founded in June
2012 by Michael and Dorris Fortson and Claire Upshall. Their purpose is to care
for orphaned, abandoned and at risk babies up to the age of five.
Their goal is to
provie for babies at the most vulnerable time of their lives. When the babies
are strong enough, Neema House seeks to reunite babies with their families or
extended families. When this is not possible the orphanage seeks to adopt the
child into a suitable family, or where adoption is not possible, continue to
care for the child in the home.
Neema House also
supports some children in their own home setting by providing infant formula,
food, clothing for the child, and training, support and supervision for the
parents. They also seek to empower women through education, training and
micro-business loans. The organisation has partnered with Walk in Love outreach
program, run by local expatriate Aubree Packard.
