The benefits you bring in making this journey.
Your visit directly benefits the local community. Our partner organisations gain new insights and ideas from Volunteers, as well as practical contributions to their work.
Your residence in the village enables us to employ a growing number of local staff on good wages, and we ensure that all food is purchased locally in order to support the rural economy.
Finally the money paid for your stay allows V2V-Tanzania to fund the work of local partners in improving education and healthcare, supporting sustainable agriculture and in encouraging small enterprise.
