All international flights land in Zanzibar City. If your flight takes you into Dar es Salaam rather than to Zanzibar, you can opt to take a ferry or flight to the island. 

After you have booked and confirmed your placement, please book your flights to arrive at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar. A member of staff will meet you on arrival at Airport. This airport services numerous international carriers. Zanzibar has good connections to destinations throughout the Middle East, Europe, the Asia- Pacific region, USA and Africa. 

Orientation and placement will be done the next day. The volunteer guest house will be your base for volunteering while living in Zanzibar. 

By becoming our volunteer, you will get involved in a complete range of development activities in Zanzibar.

The available volunteer opportunities are designed to support children between the ages of 3 and 10 who attend the ‘Seeds of Light’ school.

In your initial week, our local team will be there to provide guidance and help you navigate any challenges. When the children become familiar with you, you will then be able to engage with them independently. If you have any additional skills like games, music, painting, singing, dancing, yoga, martial arts, etc., you are most welcome and encouraged to apply them in practice.

The application process is not complicated, and volunteers do not need to apply a long time in advance. CR HOPE Foundation gives you the support you need to take the hassle out of arranging your volunteering adventure in Zanzibar.

Our volunteer programs in Zanzibar give you the chance to experience a different culture whilst contributing towards a worthy community.
