Orphanage Tanzania

This is the program you been looking for. Program that give you exactly what you want. Program that connects you to the communities and have direct impact on the orphans. STAESA's orphanage program provides that great opportunity where you meet and work very closely with children aged between months old to 17 years most of whom lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, abused by parents and street kids.

 

The children are so amazing and it is difficult to depart from them at the end of the program.  The program is designed in such a way that no matter your time constrain, you can still have fun and achieve a lot in a space short of time. We work with very poor orphanages.

 

Resources are really in short supply here, but it’s amazing to see the children always happy and getting involved in anything fun! Volunteers are allowed to bring children books, toys, old shoes, t-shirts, soccer balls and old computers for the orphanage.

 

The program also includes renovation work in the school (fixing the floors, fixing the windows, fixing the doors, land scaping, painting the class rooms).

 

Project location very safe, Communities are very welcoming and the children are very lovely to work with.  There are lot of benefits awaits you for joining us.  Contact us for these benefits. 

You don't need qualification or previous experience to join us. You will have the opportunity to meet and work with other foreign volunteers. Everyone from the age of 15 can join us. Students, families, corporates, groups, individuals and aged are welcome to join us and touch lives.

Safety in Tanzania

Tanzania is safe. Our program locations in Tanzania are well picked to make sure our volunteers are safe from the first day of your arrival till your last when you get into your flight back home. We are 24/7 with you. You are really in a good hands and you are perfectly safe to travel alone or in a group with us. As in anyplace, petty crime such as pick pockets could be a problem for you if you do not remain aware of your surroundings.

Take note of unwanted attention that you will receive as a single young, white female or male traveler. A lot of this attention will be preferential, with people being extra kind or extra helpful. But you will also receive countless marriage proposals daily. Never be rude and just accept it as the playful offer that it is intended to be. If you are not married, you can avoid a lot of this by telling unwanted suitors about your " husband" and the "three children" you have with him.

Working hours and reponsibilities!

PLEASE NOTE

Tanzanian social systems are group oriented, which means individuals generally put their needs second to the group's. As a result, Tanzanians tend to be extremely friendly, polite and generous, especially in public. But, there is real poverty like other African countries and you will soon realize that you are far richer and more fortunate than most local people you meet. You will probably attract your fair share of souvenir hawkers and beggars, but try and take the time to meet ordinary people going about their day to day business too. The experience will be worth it. Don't be afraid to step out of your house, just take some precautions.

​

Weather in Tanzania

Tanzania generally has two wet seasons and two dry seasons, with dry seasons being from December to February and June to August, while wet seasons are from March to May and September to November. March to May is wetter and warmer, while December to February is hotter and drier and it can sometimes get as hot as 96.8°F.

When to go

You can join us anytime in the year! Anytime in the month! Anytime in the week

Kind of clothes you should  pack for your trip to Tanzania

Jeans and Trousers:  blue jeans, cotton trousers, khaki trousers, Light Shirts and Blouses:  T-Shirts, short sleeve shirts and  long sleeved shirts  to protect you from insects and even sunburn. Shorts also for your free days.  Socks and underwear:  Once again it is best that they are made from natural fabrics since again it is the heat and this way you have less of a chance for heat rash.

Shoes:  Good leather shoes, sandals, and a lightweight pair of Hiking boots if you will doing some hiking.

Kind of luggage you should take

It all begins with the right suitcases or suitcase.  It also depends where you coming from.  If you are coming from North America you get to bring 2 suitcases and 50 pounds each, from Europe it is almost half that.  It means one has to be practical and take in mind what your plans are once you arrive in Africa, where you will be going and what you will be doing while here.

Keep all essentials like the pill, malaria pills, essential medicine, debit and credit cards, camera and your toothbrush in your hand luggage.  Also put one set of clothing if the unthinkable happens that your luggage is temporarily lost.   Money Belt: One that will allow you to carry your passport also. Do not wear your money on the outside of your clothing.
