    About the program

    Summary

    Art in Tanzania is partnering with a consortium of NGOs and private sector actors to evaluate and produce solutions to climate change and human rights in rural Africa.

    Details

    Some 75% of Tanzanians live in rural areas, and their livelihood, based on agricultural income, will be hardly affected by climate change.

    The vulnerable groups, such as women, youth, and people living with disabilities, are most affected. This program is a multi-professional student approach that evaluates what is happening and future scenarios and develops model solutions.

    We are using our Social Media pages for advocacy work, and our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers.

    Interns work 6-8 hours per day from Monday to Friday.

    Team leaders will supervise your internship.

    BASICS:

    • All International flights are a personal cost
    • You do not need much money here for living costs. If you attend a safari, climb Mt Kilimanjaro, etc., budget from USD 500 to USD 1600, depending on various student options.
    • Safety: Tanzania is probably safer than your home.
    • Vaccinations: Only standard shots such as tetanus, hepatitis, etc, that you keep valid in any case
    • Malaria: You can use preventives, but if you get malaria, it is routine to medicate here.
    • Medical services: Many clinics and hospitals have easy access, and medication standards are excellent and nominal.
    • Please take a standard travel insurance.
    • Working hours are 6-8 hours daily from Monday to Friday and can be adjusted.

    My experience with Art in Tanzania was incredible. From the time I got there to the time I left I was a part of their community. While I went in not knowing much about what I was doing or where I was staying, the team leaders and everyone else at the compound made me feel welcomed. It was a special ...

    The experience has been generally good. The best aspect of this experience was the people that I have met, either locals and other volunteers. The worst experience has been the poor and lack of communication for my project. This could have been a good point for my CV but it ...
