About the program

Art in Tanzania complies with The Children’s Agenda Tanzania program, including a Children and Women's Rights focus. We also have the Art in Tanzania Rights team, including our team members, private Tanzanian people as lawyers and other rights-oriented citizens, and participating interns and volunteers.

The practical work is advocacy, seminars, teaching, and visibility. Rights issues are always sensitive matters, and teamwork and networking are essential. The Children’s Agenda program coalition includes UNICEF, Save the Children, and others, and the Ministry of Community Work Gender and Children chairs it.

We are looking to hire multi-professional students and interns to support our work. We tailor posts according to the participant's focus, interests and skills.

Interns 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. The Children's Agenda is an ongoing program, and we can adjust start dates.

Fieldwork takes place in the schools and community groups. Academic graduate team leaders guide the program.

Typical day

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


The participant will develop human rights materials to study the present legislation and changes in the legislation. Some rights issues, such as LGTB rights, 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 common public does not know their rights, and we support vulnerable groups such as women, children, and disabled people. You will use existing tool kits for seminars, develop them and create new ones.

Much time will be used for visibility. 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.

What's Included

Services by Art In Tanzania

The fee includes accommodation, breakfast, dinner, program guidance with orientation, 24 hours of staff presence and academic graduate team leaders for all programs.

The actual program is free of cost. You may have local small transfer costs. 

Cost does not include international flights, local transfers, charity VISA, and personal purchases.

Accommodation

Our eco-compound in Madale Village in the Dar es Salaam area has dorms, single, double and family rooms. As an eco-compound, we use our design composting dry toilets; we collect shower water and urine and use it as "grey water" for our extensive garden irrigation. Construction materials include bamboo, recycled bottles and similar. This compound is in Madale village, so it is a countryside place but a short distance from the city.

We charge accommodation with breakfast and dinner only. 

Food & Beverages

We serve breakfast and dinner as accommodation inclusive. Lunches are available at a nominal cost, but you need to book one every morning as many people are not at the compound. We cook and charge only those present and wish to have lunch.

All drinks are personal cost. Drinking water is available everywhere at a low price. We also run a compound bar, so you can easily access drinks and snacks.

Meet your organization

Art In Tanzania (AIT) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) registered in Tanzania, Zanzibar, and Finland. The organization launched in 2001, supporting local artists who did not have the resources to develop their talents. Since then, the organization has grown and runs more than 300 volunteer and internship placements in Tanzania, including a record label called Mzuka Records and Fiesta Magazine, a yearly magazine targeting Tanzanian youth.

Art In Tanzania welcomes volunteers and interns to participate in community projects and organizes adventure programs such as safaris, historical tours and climbs to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro! Alums, volunteers, interns and their families can participate in our safari and tourism programs. When you book your trip through AIT, you will have the experience of a lifetime while supporting the local Tanzania community. Art In Tanzania is part of the Children's Agenda Tanzania Program, and volunteers and interns are needed to assist us in the program management and implementation with partners such as UNICEF, Save the Children, and SOS International, among others.

AIT alums include volunteers and interns from all over the world. Volunteer and intern projects are in the fields of Education (all levels), Social Work, Medical and health practice, Social Media, Arts and music, Sports, and HIV/AIDS Awareness.

Art In Tanzania volunteers and interns are in Dar es Salaam, Moshi in Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. There are around 600 to 1,000 volunteers and interns arriving annually. AIT's support team includes 70 staff members, expatriates, and local officials.

I recently came back from Tanzania with a friend of mine, we went to volunteer for 2 weeks on the women empowerment programme hosted by Art in Tanzania. I'd like to suggest you remove Art in Tanzania from this platform. All the money that we paid do not go towards the compound or the programmes. ..
