Welcome
Welcome to MAP Foundation, or as we say in Tanzania, KARIBU SANA!
Registered Tanzania Charity Number: 00002481
MAP (Movement Against Poverty) is a local grass-roots organization working to provide practical support to vulnerable children in the country of Tanzania in East Africa. We currently operate in three regions: Mwanza, Mbeya and the country’s capital of Dar es Salaam. The primary aim is to encourage street children to participate in education. MAP does this by establishing sustainable partnerships with local schools, providing scholarships, running training and skills workshops for those who cannot afford school, providing a support system for the children and also running an orphanage for the children in Mbeya.
Education is a vital tool in Tanzania
MAP Foundation provides exciting short-term, low-cost volunteering opportunities for motivated individuals from the UK and other countries. Volunteers are a vital and valued part of MAP Foundation, and can offer you unique and rewarding opportunities for work experience and personal development for students, skilled workers and mature volunteers alike.
Teaching English at Vanessa School
MAP typically runs 4-6 week placements running January through to November. These involve teaching English and other subjects at Mwenge Primary School, Vanessa Secondary School and also helping out with workshops and facilities for the street children at AHADI House in Soweto.
