This childcare and early childhood education program is based in a local community in Tanzania, where volunteers will work at a daycare and preschool center operated by Gilys Children Foundation. Volunteers will live at Rafiki Culture Hostel, located near the project, providing a comfortable and safe environment with access to local amenities and a true cultural experience.
Volunteers will work closely with young children aged 1 to 6 years, alongside local teachers and caregivers. The main role of volunteers is to support daily childcare activities, assist with early learning, organize games and creative activities, and help create a loving and safe environment for the children.
We expect volunteers to be caring, patient, flexible, and motivated to work with children from different backgrounds. No professional experience is required, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are very important.
In return, volunteers will receive accommodation, meals, and full support from our local team. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to experience Tanzanian culture, interact with the local community, and develop skills in childcare, teamwork, and communication.
Volunteers are encouraged to bring a laptop that can be used to support teachers and caregivers with basic digital tasks, learning materials, and administrative support. They may also bring simple teaching materials, games, or clothes for children if they wish, but this is not mandatory.
