About our cause

I will be volunteering in an orphanage for two weeks in Tanzania on the International Volunteer HQ program.

Sub-Saharan African countries are suffering from a huge number of orphans left behind after their parents die from illnesses such as HIV/Aids resulting in a larger number of orphanages in countries such as Tanzania.

Contributing to this disproportionate number of orphanages is the fact that in some cases the parents are simply unable to provide for the children or they have been abandoned, increasing the number of orphans in Tanzania.

Volunteers who work in an orphanage help with general work and daily chores and will generally work from 8:00 am until 3:30 pm. The work ranges from cooking and cleaning to farm work, assisting with feeding programs, caring for children and babies and teaching.
