MICATZ Organisation Information

Maasai International Challenge Africa (MICATZ) was founded on July 2007 with the aim of offering the opportunity to work on meaningful projects in schools, orphanages, hospitals, health clinics, on different community projects and with government organizations.

Medical Work Experience Placements in Tanzania

If you are looking for valuable hands-on medical experience, this internship is a great opportunity. There are many health issues to be explored and there is an obvious lack of manpower and resources in the local hospitals in the major cities where MICATZ operate.

 As a medical intern, you will study these rural health posts and community clinics. Participants spend the majority of their internship learning as an assistant to an already existing doctor or healthcare professional.

Tanzania Orphanage Work

Due to alarming rates of poverty and HIV/AIDS Tanzania has an extraordinarily high number of orphans and street children.  MICATZ works with a number of centres in and around Moshi by providing volunteers and funding for locally based initiatives.
Orphanages in the Moshi region care for anything from 70 to over 100 orphans at a time. They are set up to provide a safe and caring environment for children orphaned due to HIV or AIDS, abandoned by parents that cannot afford to provide for them and have run away from abusive homes.

HIV/AIDS Counsellor, Support Staff and/or Educator

Maasai International Challenge Africa (MICATZ) offers the opportunity to work on meaningful projects in schools, orphanages, hospitals, health clinics, on different community projects and with government organizations. Participants live with a host family and undertake voluntary work placements in social work, conservation, health care, or teaching English to nurseries, primary and secondary schools to children ranging in ages from 0 - 15 years old.

Safaris In Tanzania

Safari, in Kiswahili, simply means “journey”, but it has now become a synonym for an African wildlife adventure.

Our partner organization in Tanzania arranges a 5-day camping safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park for volunteers.
