Be part of the change you wish to see in the world as you assist the local teachers who provide a powerful environment for student learning in Zanzibar.

Teachers are the invaluable providers of the educational foundation that propels local children forward. Your own gain will be immeasurable, as you assist teachers in schools where the extra hands and efforts are very much needed to broaden the perspectives of the students who might otherwise have limited international exposure.

Enjoy an opportunity to assist local teachers and students in one of the most incredible places in the world! Zanzibar is more than just spices and beaches. It is an amazing combination of cultures and traditions that have come together and the young people of this archipelago have a lot to learn from you as well as a lot to offer!

We have strong relationships with various primary, and secondary schools throughout Zanzibar, most are outside of the city areas. These schools are in need of teaching support in a variety of areas including English, Math and Science.

You will be assisting local teachers through the use of songs and playing educational games. You may also lead the children through activities like arts and crafts, sports, drawing, coloring, writing and more!

Our teaching assistant program is generally meant to support the learning of children of ages between 5 to 14 years. The school is open from 8 AM in the morning up until 3PM in the afternoon. This program is designed for participants to engage with students four or more hours per day with breaks in between class sessions and sometimes there may be after school activities available as well. Lesson planning for the next day should also be done.

Please feel free to bring teaching materials such as games, coloured pencils, erasers, English language books, and even clothes and toys to donate. Those items would be welcomed! We recommend you also bring pictures or other small objects representing your country of origin, which you could also turn into an educational lesson that will really broaden the children’s world!

Reiserute

Zanzibar is an amazing destination that tempts you to explore it from end to end. It is a semi-autonomous region within the United Republic of Tanzania and it is comprised of two main islands, Unguja and Pemba, and a number of sparsely populated islets. After the 1964 revolution, Zanzibar joined with the then Tanganyika to form the United Republic of Tanzania. Zanzibar maintains its own government and is directly responsible for all non-union affairs, including health services.

Unguja Island covers an area of about 1,464 square kilometers and Pemba Island covers an area of about 864 square kilometers. The local people are a mixture of ethnic backgrounds. Islam is the dominant religion and practiced by most of Zanzibaris, although there are also followers of Christianity and other ethnic beliefs. Swahili is a local language used by people and is spoken extensively in Zanzibar. English is also spoken by many people.

- Improve the village children’s educational foundation and widen their cultural interactions
- Provide you with a teaching assistant experience, an invaluable life skill!
- Assist the teaching staff with extra hands and efforts

Please note that the volunteer activities and schedule can change at any time based on the needs of the project, local conditions, the weather and unforeseen circumstances.

This program runs all year round, but there are alternative activities on public holidays. During school holidays volunteers will be placed in the holiday program. Please note the dates for the school holidays are subject to change due to local conditions.

During school holidays, volunteers will help to run an adult teaching program in Fuoni. The adults are between 17-30 years old and you will be teaching them written and spoken English. The classes also offer cultural exchange activities focusing on Tanzanian history, culture and living style. It takes around 30 mins to 1 hour to reach the school by public transport depending upon traffic - a great way to experience daily life.

Minimum age of 18
Basic level of competency in English
Police Clearance Certificate on sign-up
Passport copy required on arrival
Travel & medical insurance

Participants are no longer required to bring a negative Covid test with them when they arrive. Instead, participants are expected to bring a self-test kit and do a rapid test upon arriving at the accommodation.
The Green Lion do not require the participants to be vaccinated. We can accept unvaccinated participants along with a PCR test negative report that is done within 72 hrs of arrival.
However, please still check please with your airlines and the country's health guidelines on this matter.

Volunteers need to be flexible and keep an open mind concerning their placements as situations can arise beyond our control which could require you to be placed at a different project than the one you have initially chosen. We will of course always do our utmost to fulfill your initial wishes but do remember that where you are going is quite different from where you are coming and as such one should be prepared for things not always going according to plan.

Volunteering and intercultural travel share a common trait: the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. This program is designed for proactive individuals and groups that are prepared to adapt to the local environment and its current needs. Naturally, the scheduling and activities of our program are subject to change. Alterations in activities are mainly due to changes in local conditions, which we believe is part of what makes overseas programs the interesting adventure and incredible learning experience that they are.

Our projects range from 1 week up to approx. 30 weeks. Projects have a specified minimum stay, then it’s up to you how long you can commit. In our experience the longer you stay the more you will gain, as your understanding of the project broadens and you take on more responsibilities. Every volunteer will be given a certificate of appreciation at the end of their stay as a symbol of volunteering stay.

Weekends are free to relax and to explore the local area. Zanzibar is known for its sandy white beaches and unique culture. While here, don’t miss Stone Town, a place that is known for its mazes and spices (take a spice tour for sure!). Another must is a visit to Prison Island, where you can spot dolphins and marine life. Travel north or east of the island for some of the best and cleanest beaches in the world and enjoy the Indian Ocean at its best!

You will be staying in a traditional and comfortable volunteer house with multiple bedrooms, communal bathrooms, a kitchen and one sitting room - suitable for enjoying the company of your fellow participants. Please note that all rooms (4-8 volunteers per room) are single gender, and that there are no hot showers, fans/air-conditioning, laundry service, or Wifi. You can purchase a local SIM-card locally.

You will easily find a few small local stores nearby that sell snacks, drinks and any basic supplies you might need during your stay. There are also ATM's, banks, shops, a local pharmacy, etc.

Arrival Information
ZNZ (Abeid Amani Karume International Airport)
Our transfer coordinator will meet you outside the Airport’s main arrival hall holding a sign with either your name or “The Green Lion”, either upon your arrival or if not possible, at the following times.

There are four meeting times you may choose from, depending on when you are able to land:
Saturday: 10:00 and 14:00
Sunday: 10:00 and 14:00
Please note that in some cases we may need to wait for several participants to arrive before the group leaves the airport.

***If you arrive well ahead of time, make sure you return to your meeting point at the appointed time as we may not be able to wait on any late arrivals.***

What to do, if...
...you are waiting at the airport but can’t find your transfer coordinator?
Make sure that you have passed customs and are at the meeting point as described above. If you are there already, it is essential that you stay where you are and wait to avoid further confusion.

It is most likely your driver has just got stuck in traffic. But if after waiting at least 20 minutes you still can’t find your driver, try calling our transfer Coordinator (phone number below).

If they do not answer on the first try, please keep trying.

...you can’t reach the transfer coordinator on the phone.
Please send them a text message and wait at the meeting point. They might be busy and will get back to you shortly. If for any reason they don’t get back to you, please try again. If 30 minutes passes, you can try your country manager’s phone number (also below).

...you don’t get an answer on your messages
Stay at the meeting point. We will meet you there in any case.
