Program Description:
Childcare Tanzania
Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Childcare Volunteering Program in Tanzania.

On this program, you will assist at kindergartens and early childhood centers in low-income areas where many families rely on them for support while they go to work. Volunteers gain childcare experience while helping staff at centers which are often lacking adequate funds and resources to provide the kind of high quality childcare which helps young children grow and learn.

Volunteers in Tanzania are either accommodated in a volunteer house or a homestay with a host family. 

The program has start dates on the 1st and 15th of every month.

This program ranges from 1-16 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available on our website.
 
Your Impact

As a Childcare volunteer you will assist in daycares and kindergartens that are often underfunded, under-resourced and in need of extra help. Volunteers provide valuable support by:
  • Assisting with teaching
  • Caring for children
  • Playing games and arranging activities
  • Helping with feeding and mealtimes
  • Interacting and engaging with children
  • Other general duties.

You’re welcome to bring along books, pencils, basic first aid supplies and musical instruments to help entertain the children and assist with activities. These supplies can generally be purchased in Tanzania, which also helps to support the local economy.
