The most profound thing about TZIVA is how it opens up a doorway into the local community and their unique, East African, way of life. I got know the people in their daily routines and experienced the factors that determine their roles and statuses within the Zanzibari society first-hand. In […]
I went to Zanzibar to do a 3 week volunteering in health care. After the outbreak of COVID-19 I was the first and only volunteer at TZIVA. And it was absolutely worth it! While the rest of the world goes crazy about the pandemic, Tanzania somehow managed to keep the […]
We are 3 students in chemical engineering whose project was to realize an humanitarian journey. That is why we went to Zanzibar with the association TZIVA (Tanzania Zanzibar International Volunteer Association) in Stone Town during two weeks in July.
