    Summary

    Art in Tanzania helps small community clinics in the villages and larger hospitals. Tanzania needs professional medical staff. Assisting in developing healthcare can also provide valuable experience working in a country with limited medical facilities.

    Details

    Art in Tanzania has been operating since 1996. Our community placements attract about 250 participants annually. Our vision is to give students hands-on experience working in developing African communities. In addition to your studies, you will have an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience of African culture and life, as well as fantastic nature and wildlife.

    Art in Tanzania's community medical support team works in Dar es Salaam. In the Madale village medical support program, we can combine small village clinics with larger hospitals.

    Medical programs include clinical and Public Health placements.

    The public health program focuses on helping and educating the village communities about nutrition, sports and exercise, art therapy, sustainability, and other fields.

    Tanzanian pharmacists fall short of Western standards. Specifically, small village pharmacies need training and advocacy to develop their prototypes.

    The medical program also includes HIV/AIDS counselling, advocacy, testing, and events to raise awareness.

    The internship outcome is to apply your studies and experience in a developing country setting.

    Work hours are to -8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

    The program is ongoing, so the start dates are adjustable. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests, empowering our daily work with the communities.

    Daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility work.

    The start and end dates are flexible, as all programs are ongoing, with many having run since 1996.

    You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable safaris and tours.

    We commonly have 15-40 students from different parts of the world, representing over 400 universities with which we cooperate, and from a variety of professions.
