Scamming; organisation probably doesn't even exist

by: Lea Sieber - GermanyProgram: English Teaching Volunteer in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

This organisation is a complete scam. I booked a volunteering program (teaching at a school) with Kivolex in Dar Es Salaam for 4 weeks and payed 1,500$. When I arrived in Tansania I got placed in a very suspicious hostel just to find out that a volunteerhouse is not existing (pictures of a very nice volunteerhouse were sent to me before I payed). The director of Kivolex never showed up (I asked for a meeting for 12 days over and over again). The director of the school where I was placed to work did not receive the money she was supposed to receive from Kivolex. And also her request for a meeting with the director of Kivolex remained unanswered. When I decided to leave this suspicious hostel because of safety reasons the owner of the hostel did not let me leave because the room was not paid. I had to call local friends. They came and rescued me. Most likely I would have not been able to escape here if I was on my own. In the end I involved police in order to get hold of the director who is responsible for all of this; it's an ongoing process.

Unforgettable experience with KIVOLEX volunteers

Volunteering in Tanzania was one of the best times I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived everyone was lovely to us. It felt like we were part of their home. We ate together and they always made sure we had fun. If ever we needed guidance on where to go or what to do, they would help out, even if it meant arranging a bus at night to take us to a club all together! Volunteering was really free and relaxed. We got to meet lots of people and feel like we were really getting involved in helping others out. There are also quite a few good clubs in Dar-es-salaam which was a great surprise and something to definitely check out! The atmosphere was always very upbeat and I really felt like I was at a home away from home. I know if I were to return, I would be welcomed back as an old friend. I will never forget my time in Tanzania, and only wish it lasted longer!
