About Program

What if you can help a beautiful tropical island alleviate its English proficiency and literacy problem? Yes, the stunning island of Zanzibar in Tanzania - though a popular tourist destination flocked by guests every year - needs you to help teach the children and adults with the English language and also contribute to the community development of this tropical paradise. The poor literacy and low English proficiency is greatly affecting the people of the community in interacting with tourists and stunted employment opportunities.

Join African Impact's Teaching and Community Support project and make a difference in the lives of the people of Zanzibar. Make long-lasting and sustainable change through your altruistic efforts in teaching at local schools, women's groups, and adults.

Diversity & Inclusion 💙

African Impact strictly adheres to a non-discrimination policy that prohibits any form of bias or discrimination based on race, color or ethnicity within our projects. We have a code of conduct which all volunteers are required to follow, and we welcome all volunteers who are interested in creating a lasting impact in Africa.
African Impact prides itself on being an inclusive organization, and we welcome all members of the LGBTQIA+ community to join our projects. We have a strict non-discrimination policy, and all volunteers and staff are required to follow a code of conduct that ensures all participants are treated with respect.

Impact 🌎

Ensuring that our projects are making a viable impact in local communities and contribute sustainably to conservation is our priority. We believe that volunteering is very much a two-way thing which brings value to both the local people and wildlife and the volunteers themselves, who benefit from an authentic cultural exchange and knowledge transfer about a new country, its environment and threats facing its animals.
Responsible travel is about travellers making informed and responsible choices, and planning trips which have a positive impact on the country they’re visiting. Through careful planning, we seek to have a positive and sustainable impact on the social, cultural and physical environment at each of our project bases.

Our Child Protection Policy has been vetted and approved by Keeping Children Safe (KCS), who represent a commitment by organizations worldwide to safeguard all children from exploitation, abuse and violations of their human rights.
