HOW IS THE ACCOMMODATION IN THE VOLUNTEER IN TANZANIA?
You live with more volunteers. All the houses selected by the local organization have the basic amenities that a lower middle status family in Tanzania generally has.
There may be rare days when you are the only volunteer there, but it is rare. You will never be alone, our volunteer coordinators will be in direct contact with you.
You have common areas and a proper kitchen. Water and electricity connectivity on the island can sometimes be a challenge. We are very conscious of the electricity we use and cannot accommodate heavy appliances such as hair dryers.
As for the bathrooms, keep in mind that you live in African type house where the wc is flush to the floor (Turkish wc). In addition, the showers are through tanks. On hot days the water you get is hot, so you can get “naturally heated” water.
You will be able to live in family houses, volunteer houses or in the project itself, depending on the selected program. But in any of the accommodations there are similar amenities.
