We are looking for those Unskilled and those attend social community Development, Forestry, Agriculture, Rural Planning, Agro economics and IT but knowledge not a necessary as I will train them on basic knowledge on tree planting and nursery establishment and management.
Tanzania has various types of Ecosystems like mountainous forests, terrestrial forests, hilltop forests, Savannah forests, river forests and mangrove forests among others which exhibit high diversity of both Flora and Fauna. All over Tanzania deforestation is a serious problem resulting in environmental degradation; it continues to strip the land of its soil, wildlife of their habitats and the people of their livelihood due to drought & famine and extinction of species both flora and fauna. At present forest cover in Tanzania is estimated to be only a meager 2.7%, against a UN minimum recommendation of 10%.
Various reforestation programs in the country have been initiated, but one of the key issues is a lack of viable source of indigenous tree seeds. This always leads to reforestation being done with a very small mix of indigenous tree species, with introduction of numerous exotic species in forests leading to loss of biodiversity and thus habitat and ecosystems for a wider range of fauna and flora due to change of eco-balance.
Youth Training Organisation (YTO) aims to implement The Indigenous Tree Seed Bank project with purpose to address critical issues of sustainability in the conservation of forests and biodiversity protection, and environmental management in Tanzania by ensuring a wider range of indigenous tree species are readily available to different participating community groups in order to promote sustainable environmental management at the local level through involving schools and existing community groups.
In order to ensure greater biodiversity in tree planting initiatives, the project will aim to sensitize the wider community to the value of the rare and endangered species in order to promote wider participation in conservation efforts.
Thank you and most welcome.

We need volunteers to partner with the Youth Training Organisation (Y.T.O.) to aid in the development of a seed-bank that will supply local communities with rare and endangered indigenous seeds for the purpose of reforestation.
The project will also involve sensitizing local community volunteers and organisations about the importance of these trees in order to promote wider participation in conservation efforts and addressing the pressing issue of deforestation in Tanzania. The Volunteers will have time to socialize with local communities where necessary so as to learn from their culture and develop friendship, events that they can attend such as wedding, funeral, public market days.
There is water taps in the house, for drinking water are advised to boil before drink but in a rare cases bottled water also we health centre near its at a distance of 1 km to the Referral hospital of Bukoba about transport Its 1.5 km to the main bus terminal which 15 minutes walking, Baking services The nearest bank with ATM is 1 km, 20 minutes walking, also security services , Its 1.5 km to the Police station. The house where they will stay will provided with a night guard for better security.
Best Wishes and Most welcome.
Volunteers expect to get a bed, table light and an electric terminal. Some volunteers do not mind sharing a room with another person. The number of volunteers should be two per room. If the room is large enough to accommodate more without interfering the comfort of the volunteers, then more could share it.
Other amenities that could be thrown in are, bedding (no mosquitoes at our place), we offer single rooms sometimes for those who asks for it as we have enough space
Julius Nyerere International Airport (IATA: DAR, ICAO: HTDA) is the international airport of Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania
The nearest Airport is Julius Nyerere International Airport. From there, one of our team can come to pick you at Airport and bring you to the hotel almost 25 km. Then we will take a bus to our place almost 1028 km by bus.
NOT INCLUDED: We do not cover flights, visas. Flights greatly vary in price depending on how far in advance you book, and the time of year you are traveling.
VISA: If you are thinking of staying longer term volunteering (from 1 to 3 months ), please bear in mind that you'll need an appropriate visas. The visa which permits you to volunteer for up to three months (a Tanzanian Government regulation) costs $250.
