Sports

A project of We Are One

Are you energetic, enthusiastic, and ready to teach physical education and discipline to our youngest and youth? Supporting sports for children and youth in Tanzania is highly valued and needed.

The level of sports here differs significantly from what you might be accustomed to back home. In Tanzania, sports are often not a major focus in education, yet they are crucial for mental and physical health, as well as for providing an outlet for negative energy. There are also opportunities for sports careers.

We have our own basketball team “We Are One Basketball Team” which currently includes separate teams for boys and girls. These teams are coached by local volunteers with experience in this field. If you are passionate and ready to enhance your skills, we welcome the opportunity to increase training hours for the kids.

Through sports, the children learn discipline, teamwork, and enjoy themselves. You will have the chance to train with the basketball teams approximately three days a week and provide sports lessons at our schools twice a week. You have the flexibility to create a training schedule that includes football, basketball, or any other games you are familiar with.

Even if you do not have a background in basketball, you are still encouraged to join us for other sports-related activities.

If you are excited to contribute to this vital area, we would love to hear from you and discuss how you can get involved.
