The Zanzibar teaching program is conducted in various local schools near the Jambiani area. The volunteer will be placed in one school or another depending on the current needs and the school. The children’s ages in our schools can range from 4 to 14 years old.
Enjoy the opportunity to assist local teachers and students in one of the most incredible places in the world. Zanzibar is more than just spices and beaches. It is an amazing blend of cultures and traditions that have come together, and the youth of this archipelago have much to learn from you, as well as much to offer.
You will assist local teachers with educational songs and games. You can also guide children in activities such as crafts, sports, drawing, coloring, writing, and more.
Feel free to bring educational materials such as games, colored pencils, erasers, English books, and even clothes and toys to donate.
The objectives of the program are to improve the educational foundation of the village children, expand their cultural interactions, and assist the teaching staff.
Remember that these schools already have a teaching team; your volunteering will involve supporting the teaching staff according to their instructions.
We work in various childcare centers and schools in Zanzibar. Some can be reached on foot, but for others, local transportation will be necessary. The project that the volunteer attends will be chosen by the Cooperating Volunteers team based on the inherent needs at the time. The cost of transportation to the projects is not included in the cost and will be covered by the volunteer.
*Important: Cooperating Volunteers is developing an adult teaching program in the community where we work. The program takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the afternoons. The volunteer who applies for the teaching program will also assist in supporting this extra program in the afternoons.
