Eco-Construction Volunteering and Internship

Art in Tanzania’s Eco-construction volunteer internship program introduces the participants to using raw African materials such as bamboo, rocks, and leaves for everyday construction work. We emphasize hands-on work building rooms and structures. The work often focuses on developing the volunteer compound and renovating school classrooms and facilities.

We encourage students to engage in sustainable community work, raise awareness of the environment and climate change, and be innovative in developing practical solutions to combat environmental concerns.

Environmental Advocacy

Visit community schools to raise environmental awareness and prepare presentations and classes. Currently, climate change and ecological risks are not well understood in Tanzania. We are working to counter this. Participants also introduce new community-level technologies, such as constructing homemade solar cookers.

Please look at the Climate Change Report performed by our previous participant.

Waste Management

Waste management is poorly implemented in Tanzania. Work to help improve recycling, work with corporations initiating sustainable waste management approaches, and develop solutions you can introduce yourself.

During your term, you join practical programs such as using second-hand plastic bottles to produce fences in schools.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Engage with the corporate partners of Art in Tanzania and involve new companies in environmentally responsible campaigns. Advocate responsible actions with local and international companies as part of the CSR program.
