This private school was established in 1999. It has around 135 students ranging from preschool to grade seven. The preschool and primary school are in the same compound so volunteers will have the flexibility to teach a wide range of ages. The school has an outstanding record of helping local children achieve their educational goals with best performance but unfortunately funds are limited so the buildings and the furnitures are old and would need some maintenance.
This project does not require any previous experience. The school welcomes all volunteers and appreciates their ideas and support. Please keep an open mind and remember that the conditions in schools in Tanzania are quite different to schools in your home country.
This project is located only five walking minutes from the hostel.

Accomondation
Our hostel where volunteers, interns
and travelers stay together is located in Arusha close to the city
center. It takes 25 minutes to walk to the city center. To get to the
city quickly, there are motorcycle cabs and dala dalas (minibuses)
everywhere.
In our hostel we have enough space to relax, a pool, a
roof terrace with bar, a shop with products from our projects and a
small spa.
A wall more than two meters high and our night watchmen
ensure a safe stay.
In our hostel we have 6 and 4 person dormitories as well as double and single rooms. Each room has its own bathroom with hot shower. There are closets in the room, in addition, each guest has a safe that can be secured with a lock. The rooms are separated by gender. Single and double rooms are available for a surcharge of 50 Euro per person per week.
Board
Our cook prepares vegetables, fruit, pancakes and daily changing breakfast highlights. Tea, coffee, margarine, honey, peanut butter, jam are also available.
For dinner there are different dishes from Tanzanian and Western cuisine. If you are vegetarian, vegan or have allergies/intolerances, it is no problem at all.
If you would like to buy food, there is a refrigerator and shelves where you can store your groceries.
Limited access at the project site
Visa, flights, travel insurance or vaccinations are NOT included in the program fees.
The nearest airport is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) in Kilimanjaro. We assist you to find cheap flights to Tanzania.
Going abroad is an adventure and it is always best to be prepared. Sudden illness or injury, cancellation or theft - a travel insurance for Tanzania provides security and is a plus to have.
If you are intending to volunteer in Tanzania you should seek medical advice before starting your social journey. Check your required vaccinations for Tanzania.
