The TGIP volunteer program is based in Morogoro Region, a scenic area at the base of the Uluguru Mountains. It's known for its welcoming communities, vibrant local culture, and proximity to Mikumi National Park.
Despite its many attractions, communities in many parts of Morogoro still lack access to quality education and childcare. Volunteer projects based in rural and urban areas help to provide better access to these essential services.
Arrival and orientation
The program orientation begins on the 1st and 15th of every month and volunteers need to arrive in Morogoro on the day before orientation. Your airport pick-up is included in your program fee. Orientation covers everything you need to know – an introduction to Tanzania, customs, rules and expectations, Kiswahili language lessons, safety, and an introduction to your project.
