Om programmet

Working with a local pre-primary school, the Child Care programs offer volunteers the opportunity to work with children supporting their physical and cognitive development in a day-care style environment. Run by a qualified educator, the daycare you will be working at was established to support low-income families, offering quality, inquiry/play-based education to children in the local area.

First is all about making sustainable solutions and making a beneficial impact on the local community, which is why we require our volunteers to be at the placement for at least 4 weeks. The reason for this is, that we wish to create as much consistency for the children in the daycare as possible. Volunteers are more than welcome to work on the Child Care program even longer, as there is no maximum limit to this placement. Laughter is what we wish our volunteers to be spreading through the work with the permanent teachers and the love and energy, the volunteers will bring.

Anyone who has a heart, that cares for children can volunteer in this placement. As the daycare is run by 3 educated teachers, we don’t require the volunteers to have a certain degree of education to volunteer at this placement. You must however be a minimum of 18 years and provide a clean criminal record when applying for volunteering with us. If you do however have previous experience of working with children, this will only be an advantage.

Typisk dag

After having breakfast at your accommodation, you will head to your childcare placement, which is close by and located in the same area.

Depending on where you are during your stay will determine what your day-to-day might look like. Typically, volunteers will spend the first part of their stay focusing on developing an understanding of the key challenges and ways in which the school operates, to contribute sustainably. This could mean in the beginning, you work more alongside the teacher, observing and enjoying playtime with the children. As your time goes on, you will be able to become more heavily involved, perhaps helping run activities, lessons, units, and more.

 The children attend school up until noon. Therefore, also being an Inquiry school, the day is generally broken into 5 main blocks:

  • Start the day with a fun exploration-based activity to promote wonder and questions in children.
  • Following this, the children will move into Literacy, where they will focus the learning activities around exploration or play-based activities.
  • The children then break for porridge.
  • After porridge, the play-based learning continues, however focusing on developing their early childhood math.
  • Finally, the day is wrapped up with games, play, songs, or any other fun winding-down activities before the children head home!

After 12, you will head back to the accommodation, where you can spend your free time with other travelers, exploring the city, relaxing, and many continue working on developing ideas, resources, and activities for your school in the afternoons also.

At the accommodation, there are several weekend tours, safaris, daily activities, and events which you can also join to make the most of your time here in Tanzania.

  • Orientation and town tour
  • In-country program support
  • Your placement

Afhentning i lufthavnen i Kilimanjaro International Airport

Your airport pickup will be arranged closer to the time. All we need is your flight and arrival information.

Indkvartering

During your stay you will be accommodated in the coziest and most friendly hostel in Arusha, The White House of Tanzania. Upon your arrival, you will meet our staff as well as the Mboje family, who runs and manages Fursa Projects Tanzania as well as the hostel. The family also lives on site once in Arusha, and there is therefore always staff around. 

The hostel is a newly renovated big house located in an area of Arusha called Njiro. It is approximately 15 minutes drive fromt the center of the city, but within 10 minutes walking from the house you will find a big compound called Njiro Complex. Here you will find ATMs, various restaurants, gym, cinema, supermarket and much more. From here, it is very easy to either find a taxi or to catch the local mini-buses - dalla-dalla's - and get to the center of Arusha. 

All the rooms in the hostel are spacious and clean with their own private ensuite-bathrooms with hot shower. We have no single rooms, and as a volunteer you will most likely share a room with other volunteers and travelers. However, we find that this makes the experience much richer for the volunteers, as they get to know their fellow house-mates that much better. 

The hostel have various common-areas both indoor and outdoor, where guests and volunteers relax and enjoy their evenings after a day full of adventure - either at their placements or on different trips. As mentioned in the section below, all three meals are included in your accommodation price and all guests and staff enjoy dinner together every night. This is usually a time of day, where guests and volunteers will share experiences and get new inspiration for activities for their days off. 

Included in your accommodation price, you will also find a good functioning WIFI at all times, so you can easily communicate with your friends and family at home.

Fursa projects have a primary focus on having a sustainable and ethical impact on the community and placements we work with. As such, your program does have set guidelines and key focuses that ensure the people you work with are protected, their needs are put first, the community remains at the forefront of development and to ensure a that volunteers continually contribute to long-term, overarching goals.

We will recommend that you arrive to Tanzania by the end of the week so that you have the weekend to settle in and get comfortable in the house and area before beginning your work the following Monday.

Om projektet

Boresha Maisha Projects seek to provide communities with education about sustainable solutions to their problems through the work of experienced volunteers.

Mød din vært

We wish to create possibilities for communities and individuals to grow and develop in order to create a better future. We seek to provide communities with education about sustainable solutions to their problems instead of fast and easy solutions. How do we plan to do that? By continues education provides by experienced individuals with knowledge and specific education to a certain field. And this is where we need you!

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. We are searching for strong individuals, who wish to bring their knowledge and education and pass it on to communities and work places in Arusha, Tanzania. We believe that this education and sharing of knowledge is the way to solve many of the problems, the developing countries in the 21st century are facing. But we need you to help us with it.

Boresha Maisha Project emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community. Having seen the bad effects of "voluntourism" many of the volunteering platforms create, we wished to find more sustainable projects, where the impacts will last and not just be forgotten with the next arriving volunteers. We wish to create platforms specifically for volunteers with the appropriate skills and this way ensure that the volunteers will be in surroundings where they feel safe and have an expertise. Look through our projects and see if we have one, that fits you. They get updated regularly, so don't worry if you don't find the one, you were looking for.  

Established in 2017, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas and bold actions. Help us break the circle of "voluntourism" and projects who are ruining communities and families instead of keeping them together.

I loved loved my time in Tanzania and at the white house hostel! I wasn't sure what to except before going and I was of course nervous, but now I am itching to go back. The accommodation was fun and I met so many cool people, the children at the school really made me fall in love and all in all, ...
I got to work at the most amazing childcare centre. The kids were absolutely amazing and so happy. This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and the culture I got to be a part of was vibrant, energetic and bright. ..
