Summary
Art in Tanzania is a self-sustainable non-profit charity NGO. We earn our funds from safari tour operations, movie and music production, and sales of solar-powered and other environmentally friendly products. Daily management of NGO operations is also part of our duties.

Details
Our community-based programs are designed to empower local communities and individuals. Our volunteers experience being immersed in daily life in Tanzania while also having the opportunity to witness the growth of one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.

Our business and marketing programs focus on training community entrepreneurship skills. We also market volunteering placements, internships, safaris, tours, and our music. Our new sales products are solar-powered gadgets, composting dry toilets, and water purification systems.

Our management tasks include NGO management assistance and development, staff training for new skills, and raising awareness about issues such as sustainability.

We are developing online and mobile platforms to reach children in rural Tanzania. We use our social media pages for advocacy work, and our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers. Interns work in a team of international and Tanzanian multi-professional students. We encourage innovation in the program approach. Network development is highlighted, as in Africa, the capacities are limited, and being able to work together helps.

Academic-level team leaders supervise your volunteer placement daily. We monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure your progress in your study program.

The volunteering outcome is to learn to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacity and to better understand the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.

Volunteers work in teams of international students and volunteer professionals. We encourage innovation in the program approach. Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

Your placement is tailored according to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities. Your program can be from 2 weeks up to 12 months. You can also write a thesis and do related tasks. The typical daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.

The start and end dates are flexible and can also accommodate other travel arrangements in Tanzania. International flights, student permits, accommodation, and meals are personal costs.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy cheaply sustainable tourism, safaris, and local tours.

We need your tentative arrival and departure dates, which you can adjust, to book you in and open your account.
