This area the southern highland of Tanzania, Iringa region is the best for volunteering in Tanzania, as is populated with international and national organization due to being bitten by HIV/AIDS in 1990s

Iringa also has one of the highest rates of HIV, this epidemic is driven from a number of factors including extreme poverty in the society, substance abuse, violence against women and a lack of knowledge of Aids and HIV transmission. The center through volunteers is trying to provide education on the transmission and prevention of aids in the center and community around the center as well as providing support groups on different issues as education should be accessible to everyone, everywhere.

In the words of the legend and great international hero Nelson Mandela – "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" the community center if supported will empower and educate the people in this Area giving them opportunity and the tools for a brighter future as many of the people we interviewed as part of documentary and promotional video could not see any hope for their children’s future but collectively we can make a difference and change this leaving a legacy for future generations to come.
