tanzania children and schools project - gap year

work

kids, football, building, dancing and singing!?

This is your chance to experience a totally different world, living and working in rural Africa, working shoulder to shoulder with the community to improve lives. Many in the Waang'waray community live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than a $1 a day. They simply cannot afford to improve their local school. Yet without a good education the children are condemned to live a life of poverty and deprivation. By helping improve the educational environment and motivating young people we can give them the tools to fight poverty for themselves. Your help in the process, by building, painting, playing and making school fun, is invaluable.
