Summary
Art in Tanzania helps the small community clinics in the villages as well as larger hospitals. Tanzania health care is missing the professional medical staff. You can assist to develop healthcare but you also get great experience in how to work in a developing country with limited medical facilities.
Details
Art in Tanzania medical support team works in Dar es Salaam. We focus on the Dar es Salaam Madale village medical support program as we can combine small village clinics with a larger hospital in the near vicinity.
Part of the duties is planning work to develop the program. For example, we look to open a small neonatal clinic to serve the young mothers in the Madale village.
The medical program includes also HIV/AIDS counseling advocacy and events & testing.
The program needs different types of medical personnel but most of all nurses and doctors. It is practical work in the clinics but also training of the Tanzanian medical staff and changing views.
This is an ongoing program and we can adjust the starting dates.
The working hours are 6-8 hours per day from Monday to Friday. This work is tutored by Mr. Kari Korhonen.
Volunteers are working in a team of international and Tanzanian multi-professional intern teams. We encourage innovation in the program approach.
Typical day
When you work at a medical clinic you commonly start your day moving from the compound to the clinic around AM 8 after your breakfast. However, some clinics start their day shift as early as AM 6. Thereon it is full-day medical work in the selected department(s). Commonly clinic interns have one or two days a week for planning and reporting and visibility tasks but this depends on your focus. You can also select public health tasks along with the medical clinic work. Then it is typical sports, advocacy, first aid courses, HIV AIDS work, and similar.
When you attend Public Health work it is much focused on schools so they also dictate your working hours. It is seminars on different public health subjects as HIV AIDS, Environmental Health, Diabetes, and other common diseases, nutrition, and so on.
We highly recommend attending the Village sports program for free time.
Free-time activities
During your free time, you can enjoy low-cost safaris to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and other National parks. You can join our groups climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and move on to relax at Zanzibar beaches. We have also a variety of one-day programs for short breaks as diving and snookering at the reefs, swimming with dolphins, rainforest trekking at Kilimanjaro, live African music, a variety of sports programs, craft making as batik making courses, and so on. You will enjoy your stay in Tanzania.

What's Included
The fee includes accommodation, breakfast, and dinner, program guidance with orientation and 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 volunteer VISA, and personal purchases.
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 own design composting dry toilets, we collect shower water and urine and use it as "grey water" for our large garden irrigation. 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.
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 who are present and wish to have lunch.
All drinks are personal cost. Drinking water is available everywhere at a low cost. We also run a compound bar, so you have easy access to drinks and snacks.
Good access at the project site
Visa, flights, travel insurance or vaccinations are NOT included in the program fees.
An airport pickup isn't included within the program fees either.
The nearest airport is Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar Es Salaam. We assist you to find cheap flights to Tanzania.
Going abroad is an adventure and it is always best to be prepared. Sudden illness or injury, cancellation or theft - a travel insurance for Tanzania provides security and is a plus to have.
If you are intending to volunteer in Tanzania you should seek medical advice before starting your social journey. Check your required vaccinations for Tanzania.
