Sports projects in Zanzibar

Football is a popular game in Tanzania and is played everywhere. However, basketball and cricket are also becoming increasingly popular and are taught in some schools. However, not all schools or social institutions have the facilities to offer sports. In addition, there is often a lack of personnel to instruct children and young people, for example. However, sport is important for the holistic development of children, young people and adults. It enables them to develop their social skills. As a volunteer in sports projects in Tanzania, you can help to teach local people valuable skills through a range of sports and learning opportunities.

Volunteering in the football project

As a volunteer in this project, you will support a football academy that trains young men between the ages of 13 and 16 and promotes their talents. The focus here is not only on teaching football skills, but also on the personal development of the players. In addition, the young people are provided with healthy meals, homework support and medical care. As a volunteer, you will support the local coaches in teaching various playing techniques and tactics. You can also get involved in the school. A football tournament takes place in the academy every week. Here you can help with the organization, for example.
