Working directly with local communities, you can choose to get connected in a wide variety of projects that really will change lives. From building water tanks that provide safe, clean water, supporting teachers in local schools, aiding farmers to maximize crop production, and helping establish small business schemes to provide sustainable long term returns, you will be able to clearly see the difference you are making whether you stay for a week or three months.

If you have a professional area of expertise, for instance in medicine, education, or agriculture, we’ll make good use of your skills and you can even elect to use this experience as part of your studies or work development.

Our volunteers are aged from 7 to 70+ and you can volunteer as a solo traveler or as part of a group or family. You will receive a full briefing before you depart and extensive on-the-job training and support once in Tanzania. We are well known in the villages we work with and our volunteers establish close relationships with the local people. Most people make friends for life and we get many repeat bookings year after year.

Our comfortable, purpose-built accommodation sits outside Arusha town and others found at the city center. The stunning wooden lodge is a home away from home, with sleeping more people and a local cook who prepares filling and tasty meals. There is a great sense of community here and volunteers love chilling out in the evenings, chatting about their day over a game of cards, or making music.

It’s not all hard work as we can arrange for you to explore this amazing part of the world. You can spot African wildlife on safari in the Serengeti National Park, relax on the shores of Lake Victoria or even go climbing the Kilimanjaro mountain.
