Join Side by Side for Her Strength, an ethical volunteer program in Arusha, Tanzania. Run by the local NGO Twiga Vision, the program aims to improve the economic, social, and psychosocial well-being of marginalized women—single mothers, widows, and elderly women.

Economic empowerment is supported through technical skills like sewing, handicrafts, and entrepreneurship. Social development focuses on self-confidence, workplace readiness, and communication. Psychosocial support includes health, rights awareness, and creative activities.

As a volunteer, you’ll co-lead sessions with local trainers, offering fresh ideas while respecting the local context. You’ll work weekdays, with flexibility based on your profile.

We actively reject voluntourism and “white savior” dynamics. Our fees are kept transparent and fair, designed to support local impact without commercializing volunteering. Participants can choose between a host family stay or independent housing, and Twiga Vision helps with all arrangements. We’ll gladly explain where each dollar goes to ensure your contribution is meaningful and ethical.

A minimum 1-month stay is required. All applicants go through a selection process.
