KIPAWA Ward, Tanzania
This work project is a unique opportunity to revitalize a Day/Childcare Center located in the Temeke District of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Known as a Junior Daycare, this center has been serving the impoverished community of Temeke for approximately 20 years, providing essential support to children in need. Initially, the center could accommodate up to 100 students simultaneously. However, due to deteriorating infrastructure and outdated facilities, that capacity has dwindled to only 20 students over the years. To restore the Daycare to its former capacity and enhance its facilities, we are launching a renovation project. By undertaking tasks such as painting, plumbing, remodeling, altering building structures and facilities, clearing debris, and erecting scaffolding, we will work towards creating a nurturing environment that can once again accommodate a hundred children at a time.
This endeavor will empower underprivileged children in the surrounding communities by granting them access to essential education and care. The construction site is located 2 kilometers away from the accommodation provided for volunteers.
Depending on resources and group sizes, volunteers may work on similar Childcare & Daycare Renovation projects nearby, assist with a construction of a church, or/and engage in teaching students.
All projects are within a distance of 2 to 4 kilometers from each other. We will provide transportation to and from project site.
In Tanzania, there is an abundance of captivating sights and activities awaiting exploration, and we encourage you to make the most of your time by embarking on safaris and engaging in tours. Flexibility is key, as your itinerary may undergo changes along the way.
Tanzania boasts renowned national parks and the awe-inspiring Mount Kilimanjaro towering over the Serengeti.

Additionally, the enchanting Pemba and Mafia Islands offer a different natural marvel, highly cherished by scuba divers and snorkelers who travel from around the globe to witness the vibrant coral gardens, colorful marine life, and the crystal-clear waters they hold.
