Due to the high rate of HIV/AIDS and other illnesses prevalent in Sub-Saharan African countries, there are a large number of children left orphaned in Tanzania.
In addition, there are many children who have been abandoned by their parents, as they are unable to provide for them. Given the family-oriented culture of Tanzania, orphaned and abandoned children tend to be taken in by extended family or neighbours, however these children put a considerable strain on the families who take them in and they are often sent to childcare centers for certain hours of the day to receive education, interaction and food. Your role on this project is to assist in childcare centers that need extra help as they are often under funded and under resourced. This project is well suited to caring individuals who want to assist in providing basic education for young children and offering support wherever your help is most needed. Your tasks will predominantly focus on teaching the children basic English and Math, as well as assisting with the general running of the center and daily chores. This can include cooking, cleaning, farm work, caring for children and babies, and assisting with feeding programs.
