Volunteer in Musoma, Tanzania
OVERVIEW
Musoma is our base in Northern Tanzania. It is situated in the region of Mara which stretches from Lake Victoria to the Serengeti. We have a lovely purpose built lodge here where our volunteers sleep, eat and socialise.
There are a wide variety of projects to get involved in from building water tanks, goat sheds and pit latrines, do weekly hospital runs, care for the sick, get involved in community health awareness days, teaching health education in villages or helping local business initiatives. We also have a tree planting initiative which you can get involved in.
All our volunteers find the work really fulfilling and feel that they have made a difference and saved lives. We have also had lots of families travel to Tanzania with us and they have enjoyed working together.
"Musoma is a beautiful place, situated right by Lake Victoria. You will be part of a big team living and working together in the local communities."
