    Om programmet

    This project involves physical activities like paiinting, renovation, cleaning of facilities and also repair works as required placements in Dispensaries, Health centers, Hospitals, Schools, Special needs centers and other institutions like Orphanages. 

    We acknowledge the high costs of this project as compared to others, and this is because of the materials and equipment needed for this job such as paint, brushes, gloves and the likes. It may cost more if volunteers will want to illustrate paintings and as a notice the illustration of paintings should consider the project duration. For volunteers that will be creating fundraisers, they are advised to observe transparency with the particular center on all activities during the project.

    This program does not have professionalism limits, everyone who wishes to work on the program is welcome.


    VISA & PROGRAM FEE

    The program fee covers your Airport pickup, Accommodation and Meals during your stay.


    You can easily reserve your spot by paying the deposit to Volunteer World and the remaining amount to our organization.

    CERTIFICATE

    At the end of your program, you will be awarded a Certificate of Appreciation on the programs you have attended.


    What to expect?

    Things might be done differently to some degree. Adapt and be proactive, don’t focus on telling people when they are right or wrong but perhaps your demonstrations might reach them applicably.  Do not engage in activities you are not confident doing as the aim is to improve the conditions, mishaps and accidents are to be avoided. Planning, Communication and Transparency is key in all activities; before, during and after.

    What not to expect?

    “Easy does it” won’t apply in this project.  The working conditions may be extreme given the locations of the placements and the condition of the buildings that require work. Be proactive and adapt to the working conditions. Protective gear might not be available, thus will need to be purchased as well.

    Duties and Tasks

    As a volunteer, you will work alongside project coordinators in conducting basic renovation, painting, cleaning and repairing of facilities and the artistic volunteers may get the opportunity to restore and paint new paintings as well as create colorful illustrations in the schools, child care centers, and special needs institutions. Volunteers will be observing and are also welcome to participate in the activities while embracing the different approaches and the culture, supporting the project coordinators and other staff fully by participating in the assigned activities during project hours.

    • Accommodation

    • Meals 

    • Wi-Fi

    Afhentning i lufthavnen i Kilimanjaro International Airport

    The program fee includes airport pickup. It takes 45 to 60 minutes to Arusha from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and 30 minutes from Arusha Airport (ARK). You will be picked up by a coordinator with a driver from our ground team. The ground team will be active to get to the airport on time and communicate well.

    Note: When you exit the arrivals area you will see a coordinator with a banner with Natembelea Africa Volunteer Residence and Volunteer World logo. Please don't look for your name, look for the banner. Wave and our team will see you. On the way to the volunteer house, the coordinator will give you a short briefing about the country and Arusha in general. 

    You will get to meet and know the ground team while giving you a house tour. We will show you your room. Depending on your time of arrival, you will have your program orientation the same day or the next day.

    Indkvartering

    Volunteers in Arusha will be staying in a volunteer house. Volunteers can expect to share a room with one to four/six other volunteers of the same gender. The  house provides a comfortable and warm stay with tap water and electricity. However, it is important to note that there are often regional or countrywide power outages which may affect availability of hot water. Bedding is provided, which includes a pillow with pillow case, bottom and top sheet. You will need to bring your own towels, sunscreen, slippers and toiletries etc.

    In the volunteer house, there is a cook who prepares meals and keeps the place clean and tidy. Safety is paramount. There is also a coordinator who is your immediate contact concerning any inquiry or emergency while at the residence. You can reach the directors on mobile via whatsapp or local calls. 

    To access the internet during your program, we recommend bringing an unlocked mobile phone and purchasing a local SIM card in Arusha. The local staff will assist you with this upon arrival.

    Mad og drikkevarer

    One of the greatest ways to explore Tanzania is to eat like the locals. To make things easy for you, your program fee covers the cost of your main meals, which will be cooked by the mamas in-house.

    The mamas will usually be cooking Tanzanian cuisine as part of your cultural experience in Tanzania. This is an authentic way to get a taste of the wonderful flavors of Arusha, and immerse yourself fully in the local culture.

    All programs will include options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and other diets. You should give note to any dietary requirements in your application so we can make sure the cook caters to your needs beforehand. 

    You will get meals everyday for all the time you will be with us. Meals generally consist of authentic Tanzanian cuisine. 

    We are extremely mindful of food allergies, vegans and vegetarians. We will adapt to requests accordingly.

It is advised that if volunteers require an extension, they should provide a notice to the Coordinator/ Director prior to the end of their original program.
