Tanzania Health Project

Tanzania is a country with a majority of citizens living below the poverty level without access to the basic necessities of life. Primary healthcare is one area which is tragically lacking among the widely-impoverished Tanzania. Qualified volunteers are needed to reach these needy people and address their problems. Rustic Volunteer’s has partnered with local hospitals and communities in Tanzania to provide volunteers who have the ability and want to share their knowledge, time, skills and talents with the health care staff of the centers. Participating in a health care volunteer project opens tremendous opportunities for volunteers/travelers to experience new opportunities in their lives and careers, allows volunteers to immerse themselves in another culture, and provides a positive contribution to the community where the need is the greatest.

The address and telephone number of the local contact hotel will be given before departure just in case volunteers miss our representative in the airport. Please make sure to e-mail your flight information to both the USA office and the local in-country coordinator's office.
