Educational & Vocational Training
Tanzania as all the Sub Saharan African countries are badly affected by the poverty and HIV. The number of orphans and street children is growing. We provide vocational training for the orphans in Dar es Salaam. The project aims to teach the orphans to start and join small-scale businesses and other activities to able them to earn their own daily livelihood.
Thereon we operate in numerous nursery, primary and secondary schools where the typical subject is English teaching.

We provide training in English language, handicrafts, agricultural planting programs, computing and Internet use, sports, arts and small-scale projects as producing firebricks etc. This program is ongoing and we can take participants in every first and third Monday of a calendar month.

Target group: Children

Environmental Projects
Tree cutting is a fundamental problem in Tanzania. People cut forests to produce charcoal that is the main energy source for the daily cooking practices. This project introduces simple manual machinery to produce firebricks from the abundant source of waste materials available. We teach the firebrick production practices for youth in Dar es Salaam who then further on deliver the skills to the villages around the country, as their own small-scale businesses. The project also includes testing of the available waste materials, their heating power and other efficiency.

You will be assisting in teaching and training process as well as in the testing program as well as in the information process for the people.

This program is ongoing and we can take participants in every 1st Monday each month.

Target group: Youth

Computer and Internet Basics
Tanzanian youth unemployment is a growing problem. Specifically in towns like Dar es Salaam where the young people come from the villages to try their luck to find better living. They mostly get just disappointed.

We are training the target groups to use computers, mainly computer basics as excel and word and simple accounting. Thereon we teach them to use Internet to market their products, to find a customer and to communicate. Many young people have practical skills in handicrafts, carving, batik making and other traditional skills, but they do not find a buyer for their products, as they have few means to express themselves and to communicate with a possible client. A person who knows how to use Internet in Tanzania can then access it through the small Internet cafe's at very low cost.

You will conduct a training program that can be managed with just the basic personal skills that all the people in the Western world are familiar with.

This program is ongoing and we can take participants in every 1st Monday each month.

Target group: Children and youth

Web Site Making
We have many skillful artists and handicraft professionals in Tanzania. They need deliver information of their production.

You will produce an Internet Web site for a person or an entity to enhance their chance for to market their production. This is an interactive project with your local Tanzanian person or entity we assist. You discuss with them to get an idea of their businesses and needs and thereon you build up a web site with photographs and other relevant materials available.

This program is ongoing and we can take participants in every 1st Monday each month.
