Typical day

Common working hours are from AM 9 to PM 1630 but we may have seminars and meetings evening times and weekends as well. The nature of work is to follow the time the target groups are free.


The participant will develop human rights materials, study the present legislation and changes in the legislation. There are rights issues as LGTB rights that are sensitive in Africa and need to be adjourned accordingly. 

Much of the work is to advocate how to implement the present human rights laws. The public in common do not necessarily know their rights and we advocate the vulnerable group as women, children, and disabled people. You will use existing tool kits for seminars but you also develop them and create new ones.

Much time will be used for visibility as for example Facebook is a great tool to reach Tanzanian people. Art in Tanzania's Facebook page has 38k likes and we can deliver information to tens of thousands of Tanzanian people.

Accommodation

Our eco-compound in Madale village in the Dar es Salaam area has dorms, single, double and family rooms.

Construction materials include bamboo, recycled bottles and similar. This compound is located in Madale village, so it is a countryside place but a short distance from the city as well.

We charge accommodation with breakfast and dinner only.
