Women Microfinance Volunteer — Flora Foundation, Tanzania

by: Kilimanjaro Volunteers Tanzania

Add first reviewSince 2007

Work with the Flora Foundation on one of East Africa's most impactful volunteer specializations: women's economic empowerment. You'll deliver real microfinance and small business training to women and widows in communities near Mount Kilimanjaro — practical work that builds your own professional skills while creating lasting change. With the right guidance, a loan becomes a livelihood, and a livelihood changes a family. Your role is to make that possible — training women in how to access funding, manage finances, and run a small business from the ground up. KVT partners directly with the Flora Foundation, a local organization with years of established community trust. Your placement is part of a long-term program — not a one-off visit. Volunteers consistently describe this as one of the most professionally and personally rewarding experiences of their lives. Ideal for business, finance, or development backgrounds, but open to anyone with a genuine desire to teach.
