Human Rights Advocacy Volunteering and Internships in Tanzania
The Human Rights program includes working with Tanzanian human rights professionals focusing on children’s, women’s, and disabled people’s rights and sexual rights issues. In addition, students can include research and thesis focus for their programs.
Green Works Africa’s Children’s Agenda program focuses on Children’s and Women’s Rights.
Practical work includes advocacy, attending seminars, teaching, and gaining visibility. Rights issues are always sensitive, and teamwork and networking are essential to daily work.
A consortium of Tanzanian NGOs, including UNICEF, Save the Children, and others, developed and ran the Children’s Agenda program chaired by the Ministry of Community Work Gender and Children.
We use our social media pages for advocacy work, and our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers.
Academic-level team leaders supervise your internship daily. We also monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure your progress in your study program.
The internship outcome is to learn to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacitation. Also, to better understand the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.
Interns work in teams of international students and volunteer professionals. They work 6–8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.
The program is ongoing so that we can adjust your start dates. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower your daily work with the community. Your program term is adjustable.
The typical daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.
The start and end dates are flexible and accommodate other travel arrangements in Tanzania. However, personal costs include international flights, student permits, accommodation, and meals.
You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable tours and safaris.
