As an intern with an NGO in Tanzania, your collaboration with the organizations that support these communities can benefit a large number of vulnerable people.

Inequality is rife in Tanzania, where there are approximately four million children under 14 who are not appropriately cared for. Many Tanzanian women face limited opportunities, and struggle for independence and self-reliance. Millions of others have similar daily struggles due to HIV, substance abuse, domestic violence or poverty.
