Teaching at a public primary school that operates in challenging conditions
October 28, 2025by: Chris V - HungaryProgram: Volunteer and Teach in TanzaniaWell-organized and available to support. If you are looking for a volunteer program provider who covers everything so you can focus 100% on your volunteer activity, they are a great choice. I assisted teachers in a public primary school where the high student/teacher ratio and the lack of resources make it highly challenging to provide every pupil the quality of education they should receive. They were grateful for my and my fellow volunteer's support and creativity in taking part in teaching and preparing materials.
Enriching and Well-Run Program
September 28, 2025by: Vanessa Ribeiro - PortugalProgram: Volunteer and Teach in TanzaniaI had a wonderful experience volunteering in Tanzania. The program was extremely well organized, and we received a lot of support from the coordinators throughout our stay. The volunteer house also had very good conditions (including hot water, reliable internet, and tasty meals) which made day-to-day life comfortable. However, I did notice that a local economy has developed around volunteering, with an expectation that volunteers will contribute financially or bring resources. While this is understandable, it’s something future volunteers should be aware of. Overall, though, it was a very enriching and eye-opening experience that I’m grateful to have been part of.
An experience everyone deserves
June 10, 2025by: Fernanda Viveros - ChileProgram: Volunteer and Teach in TanzaniaAfter spending three months here, I had the opportunity to get to know the community better and understand how I could contribute more effectively with the skills I had to offer. It was a beautiful experience, and I feel truly happy seeing how much the children enjoyed learning through different methodologies. The teachers' willingness to collaborate as a team was inspiring, and the whole experience was incredibly enriching for me as well. I’ve learned so much, and I’m taking all of these meaningful moments and lessons back home with me. The local team has been amazing. Always easy to reach them and willing to help you in any matter. The house was very cozy, the rooms have everything we need to organize our staff, the people (other volunteers) were in the same vibe as I was, which made of this whole experience something even more special. The mamas were the best of the best. Always caring about each member, the house was always clean and stunning, they were very concerned about every little detail to make you feel at home.
