Additionally, you get a chance to learn the Swahili language which is the most spoken language in Tanzania and is considered the lingua franca throughout Eastern Africa. We recommend living in Moshi district as it offers a great view of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Veterinary Program

Are you a passionate and motivated veterinary doctor? Are you capable in taking care and treating domestic animals like cows, goats, sheep, dogs and pigs? Find the great opportunity of excelling your profession by volunteering with us. FEF have a veterinary volunteering program in rural areas of Moshi district. The opportunity is for highly motivated and qualified veterinary officers to volunteer in livestock treatment and helping animal keepers diagnose symptoms that are harmful to livestock health.

 Volunteers have a wide range of activities including taking care of livestock like cows, goats, pigs etc. They will also provide animal husbandry education to the community. There are shortage of veterinary officers in rural areas so animal keepers misses immediate responses once their cattle faces health problems.

Veterinarian volunteers will be subjected to promote change by applying all efforts to the project by educating the society about the significance of having healthy domestic animals and how they should properly take of them.

Volunteering in veterinary program has a wide range of benefits including gaining experience in local ways of animal keeping, experiencing African cultures, learning Swahili and Chagga languages respectively.

Counselling Program

Do you feel underutilized in your counselling profession? If so, here is an opportunity for you to sufficiently utilise your acquired knowledge and skills. FEF has an organized counselling program touching on key factor areas in our community such as; marriage and family, child development, pre-marital relations, Grief and loss, socio-emotional development, education and learning as well as career choice and development. If you qualify in any of the areas mentioned above, take this opportunity and get to volunteer with us.

Additionally, volunteers will provide counselling sessions to schools and help learners develop a sense of self-awareness.  They also get to equip teachers with counselling skills which could be applied in assisting learners with problems. Being a volunteer in the counselling program necessitates individuals to be loving, compassionate and most so empathetic. One should have counselling skills and be equipped with different therapeutic measures to counsel learners in a group or individually. We urge all volunteers to make constant close follow-ups on their clients to monitor their progress.

Building Program

Ever experienced building in Africa? This might be new to you, but do not worry! If you want to help build school infrastructures like classroom and latrines, make a choice and get involved in our building volunteering program. The program does not require one to be a mason, rather just for one to be physically able as you will be working with the local masonries.  We have building projects for classrooms, school toilets and residential houses for poor families. If you want to experience the tangible impacts of your volunteering, then the building project is your ideal choice.

Note that volunteers do not necessarily require construction experience. The project is perfect for any person keen to use their hands and physical energy in serving the community. We are grateful when we get to see the smiling faces of children learning in classrooms in good conditions.

If you can teach sports and games, you have a great opportunity to volunteer with us. A volunteer does not require a bachelor’s degree in physical education but the ability to guide and supervise children in sports and games.
