    Description

    Summary

    Art in Tanzania supports and develops village women's initiatives. The main activities are vocational training in English, IT, entrepreneurship, women's rights, and related subjects. We are also developing medical services and health information sessions.

    Details

    Tanzania has many young village mothers who need more education and financial support. In addition, heavily populated areas complicate the struggle for livelihood and provision for these mothers' children.

    Most women lack the opportunity to achieve education to fund and develop small businesses. Additionally, many of these women are under-empowered or unaware of their fundamental human rights, thus making young mothers vulnerable to abuse.

    Art in Tanzania focuses on delivering skills for women to start small businesses and create markets for their products. At the same time, we educate women's rights and related subjects to learn their rights in problem situations. We focus on being both innovative and effective.

    We are looking to hire multi-professional students and interns to support our work. We tailor the posts to the participant's focus, interests, and skills.

    We look for innovation. Interns bring their ideas, which we use to strengthen the fieldwork. We encourage innovation and self-led creativity in the professional program approach.

    We use teamwork to create opportunities. For example, one can teach how to start horticulture and look for the markets. The base effort is to increase small business skills through the educational approach and increase awareness.

    We also focus on giving visibility to women's issues through social media for the general Tanzanian population.

    Academic-level team leaders supervise your internship daily. We also monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure your progress in your study program.

    The internship outcome is learning to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacity and a better understanding of the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.

    Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Your program can be from 2 weeks up to 12 months.

    The program is ongoing, and we can adjust your start dates. We accept the applications of all students and alums. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.

    You can also proceed with the thesis and related tasks if you like. The typical day-to-day tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.

    You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable tours and safaris.

    The Benefits and Perks are as follows:

    Accommodation and meals are personal expenses. For 1-13 weeks, EUR 175 per week covers accommodation with breakfast and dinner and the student compound, and from week 14 onwards, it is EUR 125 weekly.

    Airport transfer is EUR 60 one way, a personal expense.

    A charity visa for immigration, which costs USD 50, is a personal expense. A multiple-entry visa for less than 12 months is USD 250.

    We pay you a USD 100 per month stipend. It is small but 2x Tanzania's national minimum wage. The minimum participation time for the grant is four weeks.

    Flights are a personal expense.

    Local transport, if any, is a personal expense.
