ESSENTIAL INFO
Helping to build schools, orphanages, and other important community buildings alongside local people is a unique experience that opens your eyes to the plight of others who do not have the basic, simple amenities that most of us take for granted.
Every child in Tanzania aged 7-13 years old has the basic right to primary school education. Since 1974 the Government of Tanzania has endeavoured to make primary education compulsory and has tried to implement this by working with Central and Local Governments as well as local communities to increase the number of schools available to pupils. On a positive note the number of schools has increased and there has been a similar rise in pupil enrolment, however, this rise in enrolment has resulted in schools being seriously overcrowded and under equipped.
We are looking for volunteers to put their heart and ‘sweat’ into what we believe will be one of the most rewarding experiences we can offer - a helping hand to provide shelter, proper sanitation, and primary education to a remote Maasai community. Have you ever dreamt of travelling to another country and connecting with people from different cultures? Do you want to wake up each morning knowing that by the end of each day, you will have – through your own efforts, helped a village bring a safe home and education to its children?
A community challenge provides an exciting opportunity for individuals to travel and work closely with people of another culture and to help make a real difference to their lives. It is both a physical and emotional experience, and volunteers often come away from participating in a communitychallenge with a greater understanding of poverty and the effect Aids can have on family life. Most of all, they begin to have a greater understanding of themselves and their value system, than they did beforehand.
All it takes to participate in the Tanzania community challenge is a desire to make a difference, enthusiasm and the passion to change the future for those children whose new dormitories and toilets you will be building. No other skills are required, as there will be others there to show you what to do.
