About Program
Travel to East Africa for your volunteer service. Tanzania stands for the vastness of the Serengeti, the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, and the Nongoro Crater, the largest crater in the world, inhabited by numerous animals.
Not only the landscape is diverse with volcanic landscapes, rainforests and lava deserts. Hundreds of different ethnic groups live here. Arusha is the tourist capital of Tanzania and is located at an altitude of 1,450m at the foot of the green Mount Meru. The famous Massai regularly present their arts at various markets and it is worth a trip to one of their villages.
Our RGV projects in Arusha, Dar es Saalam, Mtwara, Iringa and on Zanzibar are dedicated to the care and education of children and women, medical volunteer work in clinics and in obstetrics, ecological farm work and house building and wildlife & animal protection with e.g. turtles, horses and other various animals.
