Welcome to Volunteer with VHSO and be the heart of our mission—your impact begins today.
We work towards improving access to healthcare for the local communities by providing medical supplies, equipment, and training for healthcare professionals. We also work to raise awareness about health-related issues such as disease prevention, maternal and child health, and the importance of nutrition and hygiene.
Tanzania is a country in East Africa bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west; Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the south; and the Indian Ocean to the east. The United Republic of Tanzania came into being in 1964 following the union of the Republic of Tanganyika (formed in 1961) and Zanzibar. Its official languages are Kiswahili and English. Dodoma is the national capital of Tanzania, and the Tanzanian shilling (TZS) is the official currency
Tanzania is a large country, and there are 6 official cities in Tanzania; Arusha, Dodoma, Tanga, Dar-es-salaam, Mwanza and Mbeya. Because most volunteer projects are centered around community work, you’ll most likely be volunteering in one of the major cities. Dar Es Salaam, the previous capital, Moshi, and Arusha are the main destinations. We are based in Arusha, but expand our prorgams through other partners which are present in other regions, and so we do our Programs in three Cities which are: Dar-es-salaam, Moshi and Arusha.
When volunteering abroad in a foreign country, it is important to understand a little about the culture. The following facts about Tanzania might be helpful for you: Home to over 120 different ethnic groups and cultures, Tanzania is an inherently peaceful place that embraces its multicultural heritage. It is estimated that a third of the population each follows Islam, Christianity, and traditional religions. In Zanzibar, 99% of the population is Muslim. You may want to keep this in mind when traveling here in Tanzania, this will guarantee you a great experience in this fascinating community.
