Why Volunteer Abroad in Dar es Salaam?

Volunteer programs in Dar es Salaam are perfect for those who have an interest in education, health care, women's empowerment, or childcare. Tanzania has been hit hard by the HIV epidemic, and its intersection with high unemployment rates and poverty has lead to an epidemic of child abandonment, too. A volunteer abroad in Dar es Salaam should expect to be involved in work that provides aid for any or all of these crises. 

Volunteering in Dar es Salaam is certainly not for the faint of heart, but your hard work will give way to opportunities for playing hard and chilling hard too. You'll be in close proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro for unbeatable hiking and climbing opportunities. When it's time to relax, the white sand beaches of Zanzibar Island (aka paradise) are within easy reach.
