Share your knowledge of wellbeing

Challenge Overview

This challenge will enable you to make a massive contribution to low-income families in and around Arusha. A lack of knowledge of basic hygiene and sanitation practices among community members causes a lot of unnecessary illness and places a burden on their under-resourced hospital.

We’ll be asking you to help us deliver fun, educational workshops at local schools based around hygiene, clean water education, disease transmission and prevention, hand washing, female health, and habits for a healthy lifestyle.

  • Inspire local children to learn more about health and wellbeing
  • Run fun workshops focused on hygiene, sanitation and health
  • Encourage hands-on learning and critical thinking skills

The next day you’ll have a full orientation to your project and our in-country team will show you around town. There will be plenty of time to explore and get to know your new home!

Weeks 1-2:

Work in one of our community partner schools in Arusha, delivering health and wellbeing workshops that aim to enhance the knowledge and understanding of basic personal healthcare needs.

Weekends:
Your weekends are free for you to spend as you like, whether that be exploring the local Maasai Market, visiting the Cultural Heritage Centre in Arusha or taking a dip in the beautiful and relaxing hot springs! 

“Volunteering in Thailand has been an incredible experience that’s helped me grow so much. Working at the Elephant Nature Park was physically challenging, but it was such a fun and welcoming environment. I feel really inspired knowing that what we’ve done has contributed to a much wider positive impact.”
