💼 What the programme involves

The Ilula Orphan Program is a community based organization working to support orphans and vulnerable children in the heavily impoverished and AIDS impacted ward of Ilula in the Iringa Region in Tanzania. Volunteer work is rotated so that volunteers are not doing the same task all the time. The work varies from teaching at the local pre-school, primary school, visiting foster families, helping at the orphan center or doing manual labor, including assisting with the farm. Coordinators at the centre spend time with the volunteer to put together a schedule and determine an area of assistance.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers stay with host families in Ilula, not far from where the orphan center is located in so that volunteers can walk to the project. The host families provide 3 meals a day.

📍 About the location

This project is in Ilula Ward, a rural area located 40 mins drive outside of the provincial capital of Iringa (8 hours from Dar Es Salaam by bus). The centre includes over 100 acres of farmland. Ilula town is a typical Tanzanian small town, with small local shops and restaurants, don't expect anything fancy. Internet access is available, but limited. Most volunteers prefer to go to Iringa in the weekends every now and then to do shopping and have fast internet access.
