LOCATION OF TANZANIA VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

IVHQ has volunteer placements located in urban and rural Tanzanian communities and villages. As this project is based in Arusha , volunteers will need to fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (if travelling to the program by air).

START AND DURATION OF TANZANIA VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Programs begin on the 1st and 15th of each month. Volunteers can choose to volunteer for periods ranging from 1 week to 6 months.

TANZANIA VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

Volunteers must be 18 years or older at the beginning of the program and have at least a high school education. For the Medical Placement, volunteers must be training or qualified in a relevant medical field; Pre-Med, Pre-Nursing and Pre-Health students are eligible to volunteer on this program, as well as Medical and Nursing students and fully-qualified Medical and Nursing professionals. Medical volunteers must also register at least 4 weeks before their start date due to the registration process with local Tanzania hospitals and clinics. All volunteers must provide a criminal background check to IVHQ partner staff on arrival in Tanzania.

HOW MANY OTHER VOLUNTEERS WILL THERE BE?

Last year IVHQ placed over 400 volunteers on our Tanzania program, making us one of the most popular volunteer organizations in Tanzania! Between 25 and 60 volunteers start on our programs in Tanzania each month. What does this mean for you? More people to socialize with and travel with, more people to meet from different cultures, more people to volunteer with, more projects to work on, more staff support, better infrastructure for volunteers and lower fees!
