Internship Tanzania

Beautiful Tanzania boasts the highest mountain on the continent of Africa, the exotic spice islands of historical Zanzibar , and the famous Serengeti National Park . In this country, the Great Rift Valley gives rise to unique geological formations, with its endless plains serving as the stage of one of the greatest spectacles of animal behavior - the Great Migration. Tanzania's internship programs are highly organized and respected, offering benefits beyond just professional development. An internship in Tanzania presents a wonderful opportunity to be immerged within an amazing culture while simultaneously working in your area of interest. The internship experience in Tanzania supplies a number of hands-on experiences while also offering glimpses into the issues affecting developing countries. This international internship is a unique opportunity to truly witness a country's culture, natural beauty and people - all which cannot often be experienced through simple travel.

Why Sichildren's Internship Tanzania Program?

The success of our volunteer and humanitarian trips Tanzania inspired us to begin offering a number of internship Tanzania programs. Selecting a number of grassroots organizations providing assistance in the areas of adolescent aide, community development and HIV/AIDS,  Sichildren offers an unsurpassed variety of unique, internships abroad in different regions throughout Tanzania - covering a multitude of educational disciplines and interests. Through these international internships, Sichildren offers a number of opportunities for intellectual development in combination with practical experience and hand-on application. In these international internships, interns are allowed to work alongside grassroots organizations: taking part in a rare, once-in-a-lifetime chance of learning AND cultural immersion.

An internship in Tanzania offers benefits beyond mere professional development, but personal development as well.
Sichildren's internships in Tanzania all offer an unconventional and independent opportunity for interns to be completely immersed in both a culture and its respective environment (both work and natural). The experience encountered by interning abroad in Tanzania, lends a real-world understanding of developing countries rich in culture which is not achievable through just travel or study alone. These are just some of the reasons for choosing Sichildren's Tanzania internships:

Through Sichildren's Tanzania programs, volunteers and interns are introduced into a realm of learning, serving and immersion within Tanzania local cultures - a truly unique experience guaranteed to last a lifetime. With a nearly 99% success rate, we invite you to join the hundreds of already satisfied participants. If you would like to speak with our past participants, please let us know. One of the most distinguished features of Sichildren's internships is the guidance of our respectable supervisors. Whichever project you choose, Sichildren will assign a qualified supervisor to provide assistance for all interns throughout the duration of their chosen internship abroad. Individuals filling the role of supervisor are usually either the director or chosen staff member of the intern's chosen project. During your time as an international intern, you will be assigned a number of duties which volunteers also perform (in this sense, there are very few differences between Sichildren's volunteers and interns).

Wherein exists the difference between interning and volunteering is that the internship allows individuals the opportunity to become more deeply involved in their chosen project (i.e. individuals interning in the women's issues projects can further explore issues such as the trafficking of women, domestic violence, etc). Please note: the project supervisor DOES NOT develop internships, as this is up to the intern to achieve as much or as little from their chosen project. ALL participants are encouraged to be proactive to ensure the ultimate success of their internship. Supervisors will provide at least five (5) hours each week to make certain that interns are adequately guided.

You can earn academic credit for nearly every type of Sichildren's internships abroad. The optimal way to receive academic credit is through your college/university. Therefore, please contact your respective faculty/academic advisor about receiving college credit for your internship work. Your college/university may need additional information about the program prior to approval, as well as require you to submit a research paper or other requirements.

Internship in Tanzania: Arrangement of room/food

Sichildren arranges meals, living accommodations and supervision from the beginning to end of the internship. During the first week (if enrolled in the language and culture program), interns stay in our Sichildren's house in Arusha which also doubles as our local offices/base of operations. Located in Arusha, interns are provided access to various parts of the city.

During the internship period, interns stay with a host family. However, an intern joining the orphanage project will stay at the orphanage's compound. We arrange a separate room for interns with shared bathroom facilities in host families as well as in the residential orphanage settings. Details pertaining to living accommodations will be provided in placement details prior to arrival in-country. Sichildren's main office is located in Arusha - allowing interns access to the local coordinator.

Tanzania Internship program free time                                                 

Interns have free time during the evening and weekends. While Sichildren
does not cover any activities outside of those involved with the service projects, there are still a number of interesting sites to discover throughout Tanzania . Free time is an opportunity for self-discovery and learning. However, Sichildren local coordinators can provide useful assistance and information regarding booking various travel arrangements within this wonderfully enigmatic country. In your free time, you can explore the major tourist areas/cities of  Arusha, Dar, Moshi, and Zanzibar . Interns can simply hike throughout the villages or enjoy the surroundings while riding a bicycle. Please make sure to let your program director/supervisor know about your travel plans to ensure your own safety and thorough enjoyment.

If you are looking for valuable hands-on medical experience, these internships are great opportunities.  The local hospitals which are located in the outer city areas and villages urgently need interns. You will spend the majority of your time learning as an assistant to the main doctor. Work responsibilities vary with your education, skill and experience. Interns interested in joining the medical/health internship program must possess health care certification, such as an ID as a medical student, EMT or paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials.
Medical interns without credentials are not allowed to work in this program because of the potential risk. The hospitals require a copy of your resume, clearly stating credentials and education, before your arrival to the project.

Teaching Internships                     

If you enjoy teaching and work great with children, this is the perfect internship for you.  This is a very good opportunity for interns with an educational background to learn the basic
fundamentals of teaching a class and gain some experience in their desired profession.  Though no teaching experience or skill is needed, interns joining the teaching program should have good English, both written and verbal. Interns are expected to be flexible and patient. You should have passion and love for teaching, English and conversation.

This internship is a great opportunity for anyone pursuing an environmental career to learn more about their field.  All of the offices can use support for all of the local conservation efforts, so assisting would be a great way to learn and an excellent way to gain experience. Internship tasks include, maintaining trails in the municipal forest, promoting new projects, or assisting in the office.  A conservation or environmental focus is the key to being successful in this project. Interns are expected to be reliable, flexible, and patient. However, interns interested in joining the conservation project should be ready for physically demanding work
