GIVE A HEART TO AFRICA

VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION IN MOSHI, KILIMANJARO REGION, TANZANIA

Give a Heart To Africa (GHTA) is a volunteer organization and an NGO registered with the governments of Canada and Tanzania. Its aim is to empower primarily adult women via education and assisting them with starting up their own business.

GHTA offers a 6 month free course in English, Business and Computers to adults most of whom have only Elementary School education. Upon graduation, GHTA assists 3 to 5 of its students to start their own business.

GHTA relies solely on volunteers and 100% of the volunteer fee goes to support its school, students and their businesses.

Volunteers are welcome to stay for any length of time but three or more weeks are recommended.

Volunteers teach one of the three GHTA's subjects but no prior knowledge and/or experience is required as GHTA has developed lessons plans.

Every Friday, volunteers participate in Home Visits. They visit two students in their home, meet their family and ask questions. It makes for a wonderful cultural exchange between students and volunteers.

Give a Heart To Africa is a very hands on organization truly appreciative of its volunteers, students and the support it receives from the citizens of Moshi.
