About Program
What if you can help a beautiful tropical island alleviate its English proficiency and literacy problem? Yes, the stunning island of Zanzibar in Tanzania - though a popular tourist destination flocked by guests every year - needs you to help teach the children and adults with the English language and also contribute to the community development of this tropical paradise. The poor literacy and low English proficiency is greatly affecting the people of the community in interacting with tourists and stunted employment opportunities.
Join African Impact's Teaching and Community Support project and make a difference in the lives of the people of Zanzibar. Make long-lasting and sustainable change through your altruistic efforts in teaching at local schools, women's groups, and adults.
