Over het programma

Our volunteer program in Paje, Zanzibar, plays a vital role in addressing social issues related to early childhood education and development in low-income communities. Many families in the area struggle to access quality education for their children, leading to limited opportunities for their future. Our program aims to bridge this gap by providing nurturing childcare and quality education in a safe and supportive environment. By volunteering with us, you'll directly contribute to improving the lives of children and fostering positive change in the community.

Our program focuses on childcare and teaching at a local pre-primary school in Paje, Zanzibar. Volunteers work alongside local educators to support the physical, cognitive, and emotional development of children from low-income families. Your role as a volunteer involves engaging with children through various activities, assisting with literacy and math lessons, and promoting play-based learning for effective education.

Surroundings and Locations: Volunteers will be working and living in the picturesque coastal village of Paje, surrounded by stunning beaches and vibrant local culture. The pre-primary school where volunteers will be placed is conveniently located within walking distance from the hostel accommodation, providing easy access to both work and leisure activities.

Working Partners: Volunteers will work closely with local educators and staff at the pre-primary school, collaborating to provide quality education and care for the children. Our team provides guidance and support to volunteers throughout their placement, ensuring a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

Expectations and Equipment: We expect volunteers to bring a compassionate attitude and a willingness to engage with children from diverse backgrounds. No special equipment is required, as we provide all necessary materials for the tasks at hand. Volunteers can expect comprehensive training, guidance, and support from our team, along with opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Over de organisatie

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

Ontmoet je organisatie

The word "fursa" means "possibility" in Swahili and that is exactly what we wish to accomplish with these projects - 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.

Fursa Tanzania projects 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.
