Hi everyone! I´m super excited to leave for Tanzania in June this year! I´m Emily, 19 years old from Austria. It´s such a privilege for me to be able to not only travel the world but to take part in changing it for the better! I’ll be volunteering for three weeks with IVHQ, a trusted and well-established volunteer organization, supporting an incredible project focused on women’s empowerment.
What will my project be about?
We will help women to lead better, more independent lives by:

• teaching business and English classes
• teaching them how to breed chicken (a life-changing source of income in Tanzania)
• providing essential medical supplies and sanitary products

Why Tanzania? 

• Many women in Tanzania face various challenges like domestic violence or lose their husbands and are therefore left without support.
• Education for women is still uncommon, meaning they often remain fully dependent on their husbands.
• Most women don´t have access to basic sanitary products
