Volunteer In Tanzania

Volunteering in Tanzania can be a challenge since today there is hundreds of other organization out there and it’s hard to know which one is the right one. Lucky you came on the right path, here is how our organization started. The word “Fursa” means “possibility” in Swahili and that is exactly what we wish to accomplish with these projects – to create possibilities for communities and individuals to grow and develop in order to create a better future. We seek to provide communities with education about sustainable solutions to their problems instead of fast and easy solutions. How do we plan to do that? Continued education provides by experienced individuals with knowledge and specific education in a certain field. And if you’re planning to go volunteer in Tanzania then this is where we need you!

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. We are searching for strong individuals, who wish to bring their knowledge and education and pass it on to communities and workplaces through volunteering in Tanzania(Arusha). We believe that this education and sharing of knowledge is the way to solve many of the problems, that developing countries in the 21st century are facing. But we need you to help us with it.

Why choose to volunteer in Tanzania through us is that Fursa Volunteering projects emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community. Having seen the bad effects of “voluntourism” many of the volunteering platforms create, we wished to find more sustainable projects, where the impacts will last and not just be forgotten by the next arriving volunteers. We wish to create platforms specifically for volunteers with the appropriate skills and this way ensure that the volunteers will be in surroundings where they feel safe and have expertise. Look through our projects and see if we have one, that fits you. They get updated regularly, so don’t worry if you don’t find the one, you were looking for. You can write to us and we can advise you what we think would be the best program for you. Don’t miss any updates and follow us in our Facebook page or Instagram.

We’re an organization driven by progressive ideas and bold actions. Choosing to Volunteer in Tanzania with us will help us break the circle of “voluntourism” and projects who are ruining communities and families instead of keeping them together.
