GapGuru offers a large range of volunteer projects in Tanzania, from teaching in a Maasai village to being a reporter for a local newspaper, and from healthcare to volunteer work at an orphanage.

If you are interested in teaching abroad, volunteers can teach English and/or Math and Sciences in a local village school. We also offer the opportunity to teach in Longido, a Maasai village, where you can either teach English at a primary school or teach Math and Sciences at a secondary school. This is the perfect opportunity to discover this fascinating culture during your gap year volunteering in Tanzania. Gap year volunteers can also teach English in a school in the Pare Mountains, a real paradise for hiking and bird watching lovers.

If you would like to volunteer with children during your gap year in Tanzania, we offer you the opportunity to volunteer at an orphanage. As part of our childcare programmes in Tanzania, you will volunteer at an orphanage where you can care for abandoned children, playing games, teaching them and English helping them with their homework.

If you are looking for gaining some valuable experience for your CV, GapGuru offers internships opportunities in Journalism and Medicine for a gap year in Tanzania. This is a great chance to learn more about healthcare in a developing country volunteering in a hospital, or to gain some experience reporting for a local newspaper.

As a volunteer in Tanzania, you can also help in one of our Livelihood Grants programmes; a micro finance programme for HIV affected families. While experienced volunteers provide advice and support to families to set up a small business, student volunteers help with business analysis, evaluating their sustainability and reporting on their results...
