Our History
Tanga-born Mohamed who enjoys working with the rural communities because his life’s work began there conceived the inception of Tanzania ecoVolunteerism (TeV).
Thus was born the first youth exchange program between communities of Grantham in UK and Kiomoni Village in Tanga, Tanzania was successfully completed in August 2002.
World Youth Millennium Awards (WYMA) was a programme of youth exchanges established in partnership between VSO, the Prince’s Trust and TeV, to jointly carry out an international volunteer exchange between young people from the UK and Tanzania.
The project was a huge success and the foundation for future exchanges was set.
Community Development
T
This depends upon the active participation of local leaders, community organisations, and community members for communities to achieve self-sufficiency, self-reliance and self-empowerment.
Our primary focus is the development of people and communities – not projects.
We achieve this primarily through organisational formation and strengthening.
Why Tanzania ecoVolunteerism?

Everything TeV team member has learnt and the indigenous knowledge gained is from the communities making our work not as a job, but our lifestyle!
Volunteers joining us in Tanzania need to bring their enthusiasm, sense of humour, curiosity and desire to work hard, have fun and to learn a lot about a great variety of things.
TeV is looking forward to meeting you, accompanying you and volunteering with you through your fantastic weeks and months in Tanzania.
The Communities you will be working with will always appreciate a job well done and will keep you motivated and inspired. You will be able to explore the beauty of Tanzania and its people.
