    Overview

    At Care Orphanages and in cooperation with various local organizations, volunteers help local children by offering much-needed education as well as skill-development training.

    Most orphanages in Tanzania lack resources and are under-staffed. Volunteer are needed for positions in Orphanages in Tanzania. Volunteer work will focus primarily on offering formal and informal schooling and a safe place to live and study.

    Volunteers generally work with the following activities:

    • In the morning help with breakfast and prepare the children for school. Volunteers accompany the children to and from school.
    • Teach English 3-4 hours a day in the local school.
    • Small children (ages 2-6 years) remain in their orphanages where volunteers who choose not to teach in schools play with the children: sports, art, games, picture books, music. All sorts of fun activities are welcome.
    • Also organize activities when the children return from school, both free time fun and help with homework.
    • Skill-training and free time activities for the children who are too old to go to school.
    • After dinner help the children wash, brush teeth and take care of themselves.

    *This is just a general picture of the daily life of volunteers. Each orphanage has its own routine. Some orphanages are located in rural areas.

    Work ranges from 20-30 hours per week. Volunteers are accommodated in a separate room at the orphanage or with host families, with local food three times a day. You may have to share room with another volunteer.
