Tanzania Zanzibar International Volunteer Association

TZIVA is a small volunteer organization created since 2007 by the shared ambition of a few local people to provide technical, educational, and hands-on volunteer support to grassroots community projects on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania, to improve living conditions of its inhabitants. One of the biggest assets of the association is to be completely operated by local staff, which enables TZIVA to meet almost everyone's interest by co-operating with other NGOs and local communities. Its goal is to promote the culture and heritage of this beautiful country and to help the poorest residents in developing the skills and resources they need to achieve a healthy lifestyle and sustainable livelihood. Services are provided to all people regardless of gender, age, tribe, ethnicity, disability or religion. This organization is working under its constitution and is registered under the Societies Act with registration no 551 October 2007, Law of Zanzibar no 6/1995.
