Indigenous Education Foundation of Tanzania (IEFT) is a collaboration between the community and the volunteers with the mission of providing quality and affordable education to the less privileged students of Tanzania, East Africa. The Orkeeswa Secondary School located in North Tanzania’s Arusha Region has provided Tanzanian students the opportunity to receive secondary education in order to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to live a life that is filled with optimism, empowerment and the opportunity to make a difference.
IEFT provides volunteers with the chance to create a positive impact in the lives of young children while immersing in the spirit of East African culture. Volunteers work hand-in-hand with IEFT staff and other volunteers, establishing a sense of global solidarity.
Aside from all these, IEFT volunteers also get to enjoy and experience first-hand the natural wonders of Africa through safaris, hiking and other forms of relaxation.
