WARM HEART ART TANZANIA (WHAT) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Tanzania?the Heart of East Africa!

Tanzania is one of the birthplaces of humanity, technology, culture, art and religion. It?s a fountain of inspiration; a living palette of natural color filled with diverse subjects that will get your creative juices flowing like a river.

? We assist various urban and rural project with information, technical advice, and material and human resources to improve their goods and services.

? We provide urban and rural communities with the technical knowledge and technology to start and maintain cottage industries that produce environmentally-friendly products for community consumption and/or sale for profit.

? We assist international volunteers in finding programs and projects that suit their interests and work experience and help them acclimate to their new environments.

? We aid professional local and international artists by providing private housing and work space, introducing them to other artists and hosting and promoting exhibitions of their works in our gallery.

In order to best serve local communities, WHAT?s team works together with other NGOs on many of the same project, thus insuring enough assistance to make a real difference. After a complete informal interview, volunteers are placed according to their profession, life and work experience, and individual interests. During your period of voluntary service, you will learn directly from local people about the fascinating and ancient tribal cultures and traditions of some of Tanzania?s 120 different ethnic groups as well as followers of its dominant Christian and Muslim faiths and traditional religions. While contributing something useful to the people of Tanzania, you?ll receive in return a great sense of personal satisfaction, new-found friends, and a life-changing experience that will forever alter your views of this amazing continent.
