Are you interested in helping us put an end to FGM, child marriage and other forms of violence against women and young girls?

Here at NAFGEM we run several programs to empower women and educate communities involving training, seminars and workshops. We also have two safe houses for girls who have run away from early marriage and/or FGM. Volunteer work can involve assisting the girls at the safe house with homework and business/vocational skills and/or assisting with office work, marketing, fieldwork and research. The nature of your work would depend on your background and length of stay. This project would be ideal for those interested in social work or gender studies. 

To apply, please email your CV and a cover letter to nafgemtanzania@gmail.com outlining your motivations and objectives for volunteering with NAFGEM. If your application is successful and you chose to accept the opportunity, on your arrival, you will receive an orientation and be provided with our terms of reference. We also request a contribution of 200 USD per month to cover any costs during your placement and to help fund the safe shelters at NAFGEM.

Volunteers are responsible for all costs associated with volunteering, including accommodation for the duration of their stay, transport, meals and clothing. It is also recommended that volunteers bring an unlocked mobile phone for a Tanzanian simcard and a laptop for use in the office.
