Are you interested in ethical volunteering opportunities in Tanzania? If so, The Small Things (TST) is the place for you! TST is a US-based NGO working on the ground in northern Tanzania. We integrate a comprehensive family preservation program with high-quality, loving, community-based residential care. That means keeping children in homes where they belong, caring for them when their families can’t, and doing all that we can to reunify children in our care with relatives.
As a volunteer in our community daycare and preschool - The David Center - you will work alongside qualified Tanzanian teachers to support their teaching efforts day-to-day. Your expertise and experience will be used to help teachers develop and implement educational game ideas and activities for the kids.

About The Small Things

Mission Statement
We focus on keeping children in families wherever possible, and providing loving care for them in small family-style homes, only when absolutely necessary.
Description
The Small Things is the culmination of decades of dedication from a number of hardworking women. It all began with Martha Ayo (known as Mama Pendo, or Mama Love), who has been caring for orphaned children in the Nkoaranga community for over 30 years. In 2010, Bekka Ross Russell founded The Small Things, to realize their shared vision of comprehensive, holistic support to keep families together and return children from care when possible, and family-style homes for children who cannot be reunified. Since 2015, Rehema Mussa has served as managing director, fulfilling our goal of having all programs managed and led by Tanzanian staff.
