Touching Hearts Through Volunteering
We bring quality healthcare closer to marginalized and remote communities across Tanzania—through compassion, dedication, and volunteerism.
About WVTI
WVTI (Voluntary Tanzania Initiative) is a non-profit, non-governmental, and volunteer-based organization committed to improving healthcare availability and accessibility across remote and marginalized communities in Tanzania. We believe that everyone, regardless of their beliefs, gender, culture, or financial background, has the right to high-quality healthcare.
