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 Children's Agenda program focuses on Children's and Women's Rights. Our Rights team comprises team members, private Tanzanians such as lawyers, other rights-oriented citizens, and participating interns and volunteers.

Practical work includes advocacy, attending seminars, teaching, and gaining visibility. Rights issues are always sensitive, and teamwork and networking are essential.

A consortium of Tanzanian NGOs, including UNICEF, Save the Children, and others, developed and ran the Children's Agenda program chaired by the Ministry of Community Work Gender and Children.

We use our social media pages for advocacy work. Our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers.

Work hours are 6-8 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 to empower 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, many since 1996.
