In Tanzania children's education depends on the parents/guardians income so if parents are poor, there is basically no chance for the children to get a good education and a better life than their parents.
This foundation was established to challenge this and is therefore located in a poorer neighbourhood of Arusha. Children from low income families are often not able to attend preschool due to school fees which most of parents/guardians cannot afford. Furthermore some of the children in the NGO are disabled, face stigmatization and rarely get good care and the support they would need.
This project aims to help in the most long-lasting way by offering good education at low costs. Currently about 50 children at the age of 2 to 6 years are being taken care of while being taught various school subjects, like English, reading and writing.
Your work day starts at 8.00am to 1pm Monday to Friday. The children will normally show up around 8:00 am. The first half an hour is used for arriving, warm up and morning prayer. Lessons start at 8:30am.
You
can help the project by teaching, preparation of lessons, writing and
correcting homework, assist children who have difficulties with a
certain subject, playing helping to prepare food for the children,
helping with social media and fundraising.
Your creativity is not
limited working with this project!

the big dorms. Single and double rooms are available for a surcharge.

Furthermore, we offer you the possibility

beautiful compound. If staying with a host family, we will of course

staying in a host family within your application on Volunteer World.

the hostel all meals are prepared by our chef who can cater for any
dietary restriction or allergy. In the morning we serve tea, coffee,
bread, margarine, honey, jam, peanut butter, fruits, vegetables and
usually a local Tanzanian breakfast dish.
Dinner will be
international as we cook Tanzanian as well as Western Food.

where you can store your groceries in the fridge or the cupboards.
Also the host families can handle all dietary restriction and
allergies, here you will get to know a lot of different Tanzanian
dishes.
You
can start working at this project any day of the week that suits
you.
Upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO)
your driver will take you to your accommodation (hostel or host
family). You will recognize him by his Viva Tanzania shirt and the
Viva Tanzania sign.
