Volunteer Placements

We will Place Individuals according to skills and interest. Individuals enrolled in the Volunteer Abroad or Internship Abroad programs will complete a Skills & Interests Survey, which helps us to match you with a local Partner Program. This ensures that you are volunteering in a project that interests you and that the local Partner Programs can also benefit from your work. The Volunteer Profile is the primary tool that Afrishare staff uses to match your skills and interests with the needs of our Partner projects. Our placements are designed in partnership with sustainable community initiatives, and your work directly helps them carry out their objectives. Your skills and interests, start date, and length of stay are all carefully considered when we meet with our Partner Programs.

Placements are assigned according to your preference and experience. This allows us to address the immediate concerns of each of the Partner Programs, so your work is always relevant and timely. You can expect to receive detailed information about one week prior to your program start date. Your program correspondent is always available to answer any questions you may have about your placement.

Suggested program lengths are vary from 2 weeks to 1 year. We pride ourselves on being flexible and customizing a program to fit individual needs of each volunteer. Our first volunteers started to arrive in February 2009 and since then we have had good flow of volunteers and the number has being increasing day after day. We have a housing capacity of 16 people at one but if need we can host up to 20 people on a special arangement.

We are grateful for the archievement on the services offered to our volunteers and proud of their productive work that they have achieved in the community so far. We recently bid farewell to a great group who devoted their volunteering time here in Moshi. We hope to continue the growth and be capable of offering aid to even more local organizations as our number of volunteers grow.
