The most rewarding experience I will ever have
March 27, 2026by: chloe myers - CanadaWhen arriving in Tanzania I was welcomed like I was part of their family. The coordinators and the team were amazing from the second they met me and were helpful through my whole experience. I was lucky to do a month at a daycare and a month at a school and it changed me in ways I never thought possible. The hardest part about my experience was having to leave the family I gained while over there.
It was amazing
March 12, 2026by: Nora Kristine Iden - NorwayIt was amazing! The program I did was so fun and fulfilling! And the staff at my house were so kindhearted and wanted to help with everything you asked/was wondering. It also felt very safe to be there, and it was always security around the house. The food was also so good! The staff there did a really good job with cleaning the house, making sure we had enough food etc. The transport there was also very good, 10/10!
Volunteer trip in Tanzania
November 22, 2025by: Maeva Leclercq - FranceThe experience was great. We stayed in very clean houses, and food was included. There was even hot water and a caretaker! For the volunteer programs, I was able to do babysitting, which was fantastic. The veterinary internship was a little less enjoyable. I made friends from all over the world. It was a great social experience!
