Education in Tanzania
While school enrolment in Tanzania has increased steadily since 2007, in particular primary levels, the country’s education system is still in a dire state. The completion rate at primary level is only 65%, and less than 20% of those students go on to secondary education.
Education is vital to development. Jitolee Tanzania believes that education is important on any achievement. Helping in the education system directly puts the volunteer in touch with Tanzanian`s youth.
Education is the only hope for many of these children to live a life not under the poverty ,abuse and exploitation line, and therefore is simply a vital part of Jitolee Tanzania volunteer programs. Education related volunteer programs include: academic (science, math, and English teaching), sports education, dance education, music education, counseling and so much more. Helping to improve the education system by being in the classroom to encourage and motivate students is invaluable.
Volunteer in Tanzania
Jitolee tanzania is dedicated to offering the best worthwhile, genuine, and cost-efficient volunteer experience in the world. At Jitolee Tanzania we believe every person is different and has different skills, and that those skills should be used in the volunteer project. Flexibility is essential when determining the best possible volunteer program for each individual volunteer. For example, soccer players can run free soccer clinics for local students and street children. Or, engineers can work on a variety of projects and even start new projects! For each special skill, there is a special project. Jitolee Tanzania team will work to create a volunteering project with you according to your talents and professional . However, most volunteers can choose a wide variety of volunteer activities that fall under one of the three pillars of volunteer work: Education, Health, and Community Development.

HEALTH
An great opportunity to gain life changing medical or Health experience while providing much needed care to disadvantaged people without proper access to healthcare due different circumstance
Health is Significant to survival yet is often forgone because of lack of money or accessible medication. Jitolee Tanzania believes in a proactive approach (where a volunteer can help teach people in the community about health hazards and how to avoid these hazards) and traditional medical help (for example, working in a medical clinic).
There are many diseases in East Africa, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, ringworms, tuberculosis,small pox and more. Luckily, most of these diseases can be completely prevented by education about the disease and proactive action, like ensuring mosquito nets for everyone. Other diseases can be cured with medication that costs under $1, but still the diseases go untreated due to lack of money. Even basic knowledge such as correct hair care can eliminate ringworms, and volunteers will help the local people with these issues. Volunteers can also work on clean water projects and other health related improvements in Tanzania region

Development
Community Volunteering
Community development volunteering projects are some of the most diverse and rewarding experiences, providing volunteers to get involved with a huge range of activities from construction, outreaches and even environmental conservation.
Whether a volunteer is working in a women’s shelter, youth activities or elderly social centre or with remote bush tribes, community development volunteering offers the chance to discover many different aspects of volunteering and make a truly positive impact on the lives of others.
By adding infrastructure that ensures clean water, for example, will greatly help the people who do not have access to clean water. Buildings either in some rural ares , painting, crops planting/gardening, fetching water, and other projects will enable the small rural communities to begin and sustain the growth they want.
Each of these aspects is extremely important in improving the lives of local people and giving them hope and opportunity to progress in life. Volunteers can choose different programs based on what they want and we are always happy and open in helping you finds something that will bring an impact and make a life count at Jitolee Tanzania we encourages volunteers to help build the community in many ways.
