Tanzania Sports Leadership Challenge

Make a real difference in local communities while exploring Tanzania’s culture, landscapes, and people.

Challenge Snapshot

Overview

On the Tanzania Sports Leadership Challenge, you’ll use the power of sport to inspire, encourage, and connect with young people in rural communities while experiencing the incredible culture, landscapes, and wildlife of East Africa. Based near Arusha, with breathtaking views of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro in the distance, every day brings a new opportunity to make an impact.

Many rural schools in Tanzania face overcrowded classrooms, limited resources, and fewer opportunities for children to participate in organised sport and physical education. Working alongside local schools, you’ll design and deliver engaging sports activities that promote teamwork, confidence, leadership, and healthy lifestyles, creating positive experiences that extend far beyond the playing field

Bring you energy, passion and creativity to Tanzania, inspiring children in their education through sports! Due to overcrowding issues and underfunding, schools in Tanzania face significant challenges to providing quality education. As a result of this, dropout rates are extremely high, with 57% of secondary school-age children not enrolled at school. As part of our Sports Leadership Challenge your goal will be to showcase fun and interactive learning as you use sports activities as a tool to engage young learners in their education.

Are flights included?

Flights aren’t included in the programme cost because many participants choose to extend their travels before or after the programme, so booking flights independently gives you the flexibility to arrange your own travel plans. It also works out more cost efficient if you book them. Don’t worry though, we’re here for support if you need us.

You don’t need any previous experience or qualifications to join most of our programmes. We provide comprehensive preparation and support before departure, as well as a detailed Programme Orientation on arrival in-country, ensuring participants feel confident and ready to contribute to the programme.

Absolutely! This is something we encourage you to do, and we’ll help you set up an official fundraising page so you can share it with your network to collect donations.

You’ll either be staying at our hub, or a local partner guesthouse in dorm-style accommodation, sharing your room with up to three other participants. There are western showers and toilets, as well as communal spaces for relaxing. While you will be provided with home comforts, they will be different to your usual standards and all part of the challenge!

“I have just come home from Tanzania after spending two weeks there with Challenges Abroad. I have had the most amazing experience volunteering in a primary school and have made memories that will stay with me for a life time. There is a good balance between volunteering and free time so that you have a chance to enjoy the culture. I couldn’t recommend enough if you get the chance to participate in a Challenges Abroad programme.”

Shayla, Global Citizen
