Tanzania

Tanzania is an extremely culturally diverse with over 120 different tribes living side by side in the spectacular beauty of its mountains, national parks, coastline and forests.  The high peaks of the Great Rift Valley flow into the lush mountain forest and the vast savannas and national parks teaming with wildlife before reaching the beautiful coastline and the sights and smells of the exotic island of Zanzibar.

Quest has worked in Tanzania since 2003 on long term projects with sustainable goals. We currently work with the Livingstone Tanzania Trust to relieve poverty through education. Teams of volunteers in the past have been responsible for building and renovating 5 classrooms, 3 nursery schools and teachers’ accommodation. As well as painting countless educational murals, the volunteers have also helped to build 5 pit latrines and 4 other water sanitation buildings.

Volunteers have also been instrumental in implementing practical sustainable solutions such as water harvesting and a school farm which was created with the help of Quest teams in 2006 and 2007. This farm included the construction of livestock enclosures and a tilapia pond which can hold 200-300 fish.

Our wide network of contacts across the country means that teams also have the opportunity to partake in exciting safaris, mountain climbing off the normal beaten track and relaxing on one of Tanzania’s pristine beaches or protected lakes.
