IMPORTANT

Since WIA is a Tanzanian Organization ALL of the money is spent in country. Almost all other NGO's are based outside of the country, which means more than half of the money for your program is spent on salaries and office space outside of Tanzania.

Perhaps more importantly this program allows you to volenteer at a fraction of the cost of other NGO's. Compariable programs start at over 2000 dollars per month!
