Summary
Art in Tanzania is developing children and youth sports programs at the village level in Tanzania. The main focus is on youth football and girls' sports activities. This program is also part of the Children’s Agenda approach where our coalition includes UNICEF and other large organizations.
Details
Tanzanian communities are lacking capacities to run children and youth sports programs. Commonly children make their football grounds themselves and play with makeshift balls. Organized Coaching is rare.
Currently, Art in Tanzania is focused on developing youth football. We develop structures for village tournaments and select talented children for more advanced training. Tanzanian sports teachers are voluntarily assisting the program and our task is to develop a proper football education system. We are also developing girl’s teams and diversified coaching of other team sports.
Interns help to structure programs, to train our Tanzanian coaches, advise about sports in schools, perform coaching activities with the local coaches, and organize tournaments.
Interns are working in a team of international and Tanzanian multi-professional intern teams. We encourage innovation in the program approach. Mr. Francis Hoti tutors this work.
We are looking to expand our field of international volunteering and internships to empower our work in Tanzania. This is an ongoing program and we can adjust the starting dates.
Typical day
Sports activities take place after school and working hours. Our sports program takes place mainly in the village we live in so the distances are short.
Those attending the school sports hours teaching will more to the schools starting AM 9. We need to schedule the working upon the curriculums in the schools preferably combining 2 to 3 schools per day to get enough hours.
Then when kids come back home we run the village sports program where football is the main focus but we can also introduce other sports.
Commonly we run tournaments between different parts of the village for different ages teams and we also emphasize keeping girl's teams going on. It is very hectic as football is the most important thing for an African kid.
All the above happens between PM 4 and PM 6.30 and then it comes dark.
On weekends we support the elder people weekend training/rehearsal activities that are aerobics, jogging, and similar, and at the same time, we can perform health advocacy activities.
We highlight social media content to perform visibility for your and our work but also to deliver health advocacy. Our Facebook has about 19,000 likes and it is a great tool to reach the Tanzanian public in common.
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.

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.

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.
