Welcome to Her Voice in Leganga!
Her Voice is a vocational education and empowerment project for young women from disadvantaged backgrounds. The project is run locally by Voice of Youth Tanzania (VOYOTA) and supported by Direct Help 4 Tanzania (DH4T), a Swiss non-profit organisation working to improve access to education and economic opportunities for women in Tanzania.
Each year, Her Voice offers up to 40 young women the opportunity to take part in a six-month training program. Students choose between vocational training in tailoring or hairdressing and complement their practical education with classes in areas such as English, business and accounting, computer skills, health and sexual and reproductive health. The program also includes practical workshops and an internship in a local business. After graduation, participants continue to receive guidance as they enter the workforce or make use of our Her Voice Hubs, where they can access equipment and mentoring.
Volunteers work alongside our local team rather than replacing local staff. Their role is to contribute skills, ideas and new perspectives while supporting activities that are already rooted in the local community. Tasks are adapted to each volunteer's experience and to the current needs of the project. Depending on your background, you might support English lessons or other educational activities, assist with administration, or contribute to projects in areas such as social media, photography, marketing, creative workshops or website development.
Volunteering with Her Voice is also an opportunity for cultural exchange. Rather than simply visiting Tanzania, you will have the chance to build relationships, learn from the people around you and gain a deeper understanding of local life and culture.
