How Can You Help?
Volunteer in Moshi, Tanzania
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization and make it possible for us to continue the work of empowering Tanzanian women through education in business, English, math, and vocational skills.
Volunteers teach English, business, math, or vocational skills in our classrooms alongside the Tanzanian teachers/translators. You don't need to be a teacher, or have experience in business, math or vocations as our curriculum is easy to follow and the Tanzanian staff are very helpful!
By volunteering to teach you give students and staff the opportunity to increase their exposure to the English language. GHTA students gain confidence as they try to speak English with volunteers, and equally love helping volunteers learn Swahili. You can see the impact you, and those volunteers who came before you have on our students.
Volunteers also bring a vast range of experiences and knowledge which they share with students which exposes them to new vocational and business ideas. Read our reviews or learn more about the volunteer experience.
When you teach at GHTA, you also live onsite. Our western style accommodations include shared rooms/bathrooms (depending on the number of volunteers), airport pick up, and dinner Sunday-Friday. The weekly fee is $300 USD per week for the first 4 weeks. Additional weeks are $150 USD per week. If you are a returning volunteer, it is $150 USD per week.
GHTA benefits greatly from volunteers who teach and stay at the school. The financial support provided by our volunteers funds free education for Tanzanian women, and employs GHTA graduates in the operation of the school. Your contribution goes directly to helping our students.
We are 100% volunteer-run through the Canadian and Tanzanian Board of Directors.

How Your Financial Support Helps
Your financial support allows us to provide free education to Tanzanian women, assist with childcare during school hours, employ GHTA graduates in the operation of the school, support the businesses operated by GHTA graduates, and provide opportunities for graduates to receive assistance with starting a new business or attending post secondary.
GHTA’s budget also benefits significantly from donations. 100% of the our donations go directly to our school and students. We do not have administrative costs since we are 100% volunteer-run by the Canadian and Tanzanian Board of Directors.
