Art in Tanzania has been operating since 1996. Our community placements attract about 250 participants annually.

Women’s programs, volunteering, and internships.

Tanzania has many young mothers who need more education and financial support. In addition, heavily populated areas complicate the struggle for livelihood and provision for these mothers’ children.

Most women lack the opportunity to pursue an education that would enable them to fund and develop small businesses. Additionally, many of these women are under-empowered or unaware of their fundamental human rights, thus making young mothers vulnerable to abuse.

Art in Tanzania focuses on teaching women skills to start small businesses and create markets for their products. We also educate women on their rights and related subjects to help them understand their rights in problematic situations. We focus on being both innovative and effective.

We are looking to hire multi-professional students and interns to support our work. We tailor the posts to the participant’s focus, interests, and skills.

We look for innovation. Interns bring their ideas, which we use to strengthen the fieldwork. We encourage innovation and self-led creativity in the professional program approach.

We use teamwork to create opportunities. For example, one can teach how to start horticulture and look for markets. The primary goal is to enhance small business skills through an educational approach and increase awareness of these skills. Of these skills
