Internships in Social Work and Education in Zanzibar are placed in an NGO that works with disadvantaged people in society on an array of different initiatives. This is a highly customizable internship, with a wide range of possible placements and work. No two internships are the same, as each is designed to match interns with the best placement, in the best role for their skills.

All internship placements have the common goal of helping people. They can involve education programs, teaching vocational or business skills, running sports and extracurricular activities, health workshops or exercises in social issues. Each placement works with disadvantaged people, helping them with personal and professional development to improve their life and career prospects.

Placements include:

• Helping on a chicken farm that teaches students about farming and permaculture, poultry farming, gardening and primary industry business development.
• Assisting on a bicycle program, teaching locals how to repair and maintain bicycles, sell tools or parts, and renting bicycles for local tours around Zanzibar.
• Assisting in a learning center, preparing and giving lessons in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology or geography. Interns can support local teachers, act as tutors and help provide individualized education programs.
• Helping to run extracurricular weekend workshops for locals, with themes such as nutrition, health, women’s rights, vocational training and reading. Past interns have run dedicated English lessons, incorporating fun activities including karaoke and talent shows to reinforce learning.

Social Work and Education interns are matched to a placement according to an analysis of your skills, experience, interests, and duration of your stay in Zanzibar. The specific details of your placement will be finalized on confirmation of your internship, prior to your start date. All interns should come prepared to actively plan, develop, and carry out extra-curricular activities and workshops.
