À propos du programme

The community health development program is for those working in the healthcare sector and are looking to contribute to health-based education and awareness in the local community. Our health programs aim to provide long-term, sustainable support to communities whereby people have the opportunity to be better educated on key health-related challenges including:

  • Women’s Health
  • Maternal Health
  • WASH
  • First Aid
  • Disease prevention and control
  • Dental Hygiene

To ensure safety for both volunteers and community members, health volunteers do not work in hospitals or clinics, where they perform direct medical services on patients. This program works specifically as a capacity-building program where volunteers can expect to develop resources, run workshops, provide talks and educate on health challenges.

We are only looking for volunteers who are either qualified or enrolled in medical education: Medical Students, Dental, Nursing Students, and Midwife Students. When you apply for this placement, we require you to see either qualification or enrolment papers from your educational facility as well as a list of your qualifications, so we can make sure that you are fit and prepared to volunteer in health.

Key program focuses and outcomes:

  • To work with local communities to ethically research and identify core health challenges.
  • To develop a plan of how you will work to collaboratively develop community knowledge around such health challenges.
  • To develop workshops, resources, and curriculums to educate the community on such challenges.
  • To create a plan on how you will ethically conduct such outreach, including where, how, and what efforts will be made to gain the trust and consent of the community, safeguarding, and ethical practices.

Journée typique

On this program, you will be working with local schools and community groups, promotion health awareness and education on key health related challenges. Therefore, a typical day on this program could look quite different, depending on where your group is needing to work that day. However, a general overview of your daily schedule could look like:

7am - 8am - Breakfast

8am - 8:30am - Head to your place of work for that day (school, community group, centre, etc)

8:30am - 12pm - Volunteering and general activities, outreach and program delivery.

12pm - Return home, have lunch relax.

12pm - Afternoon - Working on developing content, ideas, resources, activities, and more!

This program involves working with local community members to identify key health related challenges, then using what you identify the needs to be, developing workshops and resources to promote health based awareness. This means you may spend some days at the accommodation working with other volunteers on developing such workshops and resources, gathering equipment or materials needed, making plans on where you will be conducting your outreach. During your program, the bulk of it will be spent delivering health based education and awareness in local schools and community groups.

This program really draws on your professional health knowledge, and allows you the opportunity to expand your public health skills by working with developing communities who have very limited access to healthcare. This program does not allow you to work specifically in hospitals, as ensuring the safety of both volunteers and the community remains at the forefront of our programs. Focusing on developing health knowledge and awareness at the grassroots is the focus for more long-term, sustainable impacts.

You can spend your free time with other travellers, exploring the city, relaxing, and many continue working on developing ideas, resources and activities for your school in the afternoons also.

At the accommodation, there are several weekend tours, Safaris, daily activities and events which you can also join to make the most of your time here in Tanzania.

Activités de loisirs

There are plenty of good weekend activities that can be done whilst you are in Arusha. With these, you can arrange these from your accommodation, where you will get to join a group to enjoy activities with.

The fee covers your living expenses whilst here in Tanzania, and a percentage goes towards your placement itself, to further support the projects. During your stay, you will be living at a vibrant volunteer house, located in Njiro, only a short drive from the city centre.

Program Inclusions:

  • Accommodation at our lively volunteer and backpacker’s house
  • 2 meals per day (Breakfast and dinner)
  • Airport pick up
  • Orientation and town tour
  • In-country program support
  • Your placement

Transfert de l'aéroport Kilimanjaro International Airport

Airport pick up will be arranged closer to the time. All we require are your flight details and arrival information. 

Logement

During your stay you will be accommodated in the coziest and most friendly hostel in Arusha, The White House of Tanzania. Upon your arrival, you will meet our staff as well as the Mboje family, who runs and manages Fursa Projects Tanzania as well as the hostel. The family also lives on site once in Arusha, and there is therefore always staff around. 

The hostel is a newly renovated big house located in an area of Arusha called Njiro. It is approximately 15 minutes drive fromt the center of the city, but within 10 minutes walking from the house you will find a big compound called Njiro Complex. Here you will find ATMs, various restaurants, gym, cinema, supermarket and much more. From here, it is very easy to either find a taxi or to catch the local mini-buses - dalla-dalla's - and get to the center of Arusha. 

All the rooms in the hostel are spacious and clean with their own private ensuite-bathrooms with hot shower. We have no single rooms, and as a volunteer you will most likely share a room with other volunteers and travelers. However, we find that this makes the experience much richer for the volunteers, as they get to know their fellow house-mates that much better. 

The hostel have various common-areas both indoor and outdoor, where guests and volunteers relax and enjoy their evenings after a day full of adventure - either at their placements or on different trips. As mentioned in the section below, all three meals are included in your accommodation price and all guests and staff enjoy dinner together every night. This is usually a time of day, where guests and volunteers will share experiences and get new inspiration for activities for their days off. 

Included in your accommodation price, you will also find a good functioning WIFI at all times, so you can easily communicate with your friends and family at home.

Sur le projet

Boresha Maisha Projects seek to provide communities with education about sustainable solutions to their problems through the work of experienced volunteers.

Rencontrez votre hôte

We wish 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? By continues education provides by experienced individuals with knowledge and specific education to a certain field. And 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 work places in Arusha, Tanzania. We believe that this education and sharing of knowledge is the way to solve many of the problems, the developing countries in the 21st century are facing. But we need you to help us with it.

Boresha Maisha Project 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 with 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 an 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.  

Established in 2017, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas and bold actions. Help us break the circle of "voluntourism" and projects who are ruining communities and families instead of keeping them together.
