Volunteers will contribute to the health facilities by assisting local doctors, nurses, and other medical staffs. Volunteers will also assist in the treatment of patients as well as various others tasks which may include: assisting doctors, nurses and medical staffs, examining and treat the patients, treating minor injuries, performing hospital administrative duties such as record-keeping and educating patients on the importance of sanitation, nutrition, etc.

Interested volunteers must have certification or proof of experience in a medical field, such as a medical student ID, EMT or paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials. Due to the health risks involved, volunteers who are not properly trained in health care are not allowed to work in this project.

Rustic arranges room, food, and supervision for volunteer from the start to the end of program. Volunteers stay with a host family or hostel. A volunteer joining the orphanage project will stay at the orphanage compound. We arrange a separate room and shared bath for volunteers both in host family and in the residential orphanage settings or hostel. You can find the details of the room/food accommodations in the placement sheets. Rustic main office is in Dar es Salaam , the director of the local project will be the immediate contact for volunteers.

Health projects are available in Dar es Salaam (home to Kaole Ruins, Botanic Gardens and Dar es Salaam Marine Reserve), Moshi (Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park) and Arusha (close to Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro and Great Rift Valley). Tanzania is renowned for its beautiful natural landscapes and its fused African culture with more than 120 different ethnic groups. Tanzania is full of distinction; from it rural traditional culture and history to its modern infrastructure and amenities you would expect from any city.

Volunteers/travelers can organize several combinations of potential excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place that the volunteers can use during weekends. For example: national parks & harbors, snorkeling, markets, museums, restaurants, nightclubs, gardens, waterfalls, mountains, Eco Tours, craters beaches, hotels, and many more.
