Social Sector Volunteering and Internships
Our community-based Social Sector programs empower the local communities and individual people.
Interns experience daily life in Tanzania while also witnessing the growth of one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.
Our community social sector work is mostly fieldwork with target groups such as schools, women’s groups, orphanages, children under school age, and disabled people.
You can include multiple tasks, but having one as a central task is good.
Children Under School Age
The Children’s Agenda program is a multi-professional approach. It includes ten key investment points:
Invest to Save the Lives of Children and Women, Invest in Good Nutrition, Invest in Better Hygiene and Sanitation in Schools and Health Facilities, Invest in Early Childhood Development, Invest in Quality Education for all Children, Invest to Make Schools Safe, Invest to Protect Infants and Adolescent Girls from HIV, Invest to Reduce Teenage Pregnancy, Invest to Protect Children from Violence, Abuse, and Exploitation, Invest in Children with Disabilities
Women Groups
Green Works Africa supports and develops services for the growing older adults in the African village.
Older people in Tanzania are culturally highly appreciated, and they will stay with their families rather than live alone. However, better medical care, nutrition, and living conditions have made people live longer.
Nevertheless, Tanzania lacks social services for the elderly, and essential supportive services, especially for low-income families, are urgently needed.
The gerontology intern will perform tasks as follows
Advocating public health topics such as common elder society illnesses, nutrition, etc
Assisting in conducting health checks when needed
Physiotherapy type of training and exercises
Assisting in organizing the typical daily tasks
Creating daily hobbies and other mentally empowering activities
Other functions that the student is capable of bringing into the placement task
Gerontology
Green Works Africa offers sustainable travel options to set itself apart from the safari and tour business crowd. Safari tour agents in the Western world commonly sell safaris, but only part of the money comes to Tanzania to support the economy.
Typically, villages around famous national parks are the poorest of the poor. The profit from our tours comes to Tanzania and supports the Tanzanian economy and community development activities.
