As all the Sub-Saharan Tanzanian countries, Tanzania is also badly affected by the epidemics of both poverty and HIV. The number of orphans and street children is growing in every capital city in Tanzania. Efforts have been made by various local organizations to protect these children by offering much-needed education as well as skill-development training. STAETA is joining the efforts been made through providing volunteers. Most of the orphanages, children are aged 1-18 years.
Volunteers mostly teach English language lessons. Volunteers also help the children by organizing games, drawing classes, singing lessons, and even painting sessions. In this project, volunteers can organize any creative, extracurricular activities that the children may enjoy and love doing.
This Tanzania-based volunteer project also provides volunteers the impacting opportunity to work proactively in the orphanage's community and share their love, passion, individual skills, and efforts for the children.
The orphanages provide childcare facilities, basic schooling, housing and meals. Volunteers work from 8:00 am until 3:30 pm. We welcome those with a passion for children without parents or whose parents cannot take care of them.
This program provides participants the chance of life a lifetime to make an impact on the future success of these orphans. Together we will make these poor orphans feel the love, attention and care they need, hence putting smiles on their faces.

Tanzania is one of the most beautiful and politically stable countries in East Africa. It borders Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda and Mozambique and contains some of Africa's finest game reserves (Ngorongoro, Serengeti) as well as the roof of Africa: Mount Kilimanjaro.
From Zanzibar on the coast, to the fabulous bush scenery near Arusha, there is no better way to experience Africa in safe and happy surroundings.
This is by far our biggest programme with more volunteers, more locations and a wider range of opportunities than any other country. We offer two main types of programme:
Teaching children (primary and secondary schools) and adults in the Arusha region - in the shadows of Mt Meru - as well as other wonderful programs with the Massai in Longido, on the coast at Pangani and in the beautiful Pare Mountains.
