Why Join Us in Tanzania?About Tanzania
Tanzania is East Africa's largest country, with the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia. It is home to Mount Kilimanjaro and borders Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Nyasa.
Tanzania has about 120 African tribal groups. About 90 per cent of the population lives in rural areas and relies on what they can grow.
Most of the land was once savanna and bush, but now it is a semi-desert home to some of Africa's best-known mammal species, including zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino, and leopard.
Muntada Aid in Tanzania
Muntada Aid runs seasonal and health projects in Tanzania, including a food programme, health services like free cataract operations, education programmes, and free heart operations through our flagship Little Hearts programme for children with various heart conditions.
Little Hearts Tanzania
Muntada Aid’s Little Hearts programme has been providing free heart operations to children in Tanzania for the past 10 years. We have performed 510 missions through 8 missions. Our Little Hearts team was the first to perform children’s heart operations in the country, paving the way for the government to build the necessary infrastructure and develop capacity. The government-run Jakaya Kilwete Cardiac Institute now provides a series of operations to children and continues to develop capacity by working with our team and other international teams.
What Will You Deliver During the Deployment?
Little Hearts - Free Children’s Heart Operations
You will observe the ongoing Little Hearts mission during your deployment and meet the families, children, and international team doctors, as your deployment coincides with the Little Hearts mission.
Free Cataract Surgeries
You will also visit remote health centres where we will perform free cataract surgeries. Meet the teams and see firsthand how such missions transform lives.
Food Programme - Free Family Food Packs
You will also help deliver vital family food packs to vulnerable communities.
Meet and Play Football With Children Residing at Our Partner Centre
Each year, we organise a customary football match where children boarding at one of our partner centres join the team. The match is held on Zanzibar Island, where the centre is based, and is one of the trip’s highlights.
What to Expect During the Deployment
In addition to participating in the various humanitarian programmes, our local team organises a one-day safari to see some of the famous five animals of the savanna, and a trip to Zanzibar to explore the historic spice markets and towns.
