Is Orphans Africa, Marilynn Orphans Projects Foundation, and/or any of its employees or volunteers responsible for my safety and health while volunteering in Tanzania?
No. While we do everything in our power to provide for the safety and health of our volunteers, you must assume complete responsibility for your own safety, health, and actions while in Tanzania. Travel in a third-world country is always a risk; there is a lower level of health care, disease is rampant, hygiene is poor, there is minimal food and water safety, and the average life expectancy is only 50.7 years. It is also impossible to monitor all volunteers at all times, as frequently volunteers wish to go off on their own. We cannot be held responsible, even when you are volunteering at one of our projects. Once your application is approved, all volunteers must sign an Assumption of Risk and Release and Hold Harmless Agreement.
