Kilimanjaro Volunteers Exposure (which we shorten to KiVolEx), is a volunteering organisation based in Arusha, in north-eastern Tanzania.
We are a non-profit organisation, aimed at improving the lives of all those in need in the local community. Specifically, we work with underprivileged groups such as women and children. Established to bring Western enthusiasm, expertise and passion to tackling some of the problems which affect the most needy in Tanzania. Our ethos is that you'll be volunteering with us, not for us. We're far more interested in your skills and desire to help than your money.
In Tanzania, KiVolEx is run by a group of experienced medical doctors and social workers who have seen the difference passionate volunteers can make to people's lives. We have support in the UK in the form of previous volunteers, who handle the recruitment and support of new volunteers before they fly out to begin project work
Volunteering
Volunteering overseas is an enormously rewarding activity, both for yourself and the community you work with. Don’t underestimate the skills you have that will make a difference: one of the most important is that you are a fluent speaker of English. With much of the higher curriculum in Tanzania being in English, but with highly varying standards across both pupils and teachers, just being exposed to fluent English is enormously beneficial for education and development in local communities. You’ll make memories (and friends) that will last you a lifetime- knowing that you’ve made lasting positive change to the community you volunteered with, but also became more independent and rounded as a person.
What We Do
We will try and match you with the best possible project for you. If there’s something specific you want to do, then we will place you there, and if not we will work with you to find something that will benefit both you and the local community enormously.
Our Project Location
We currently have projects in three locations in Tanzania i.e Arusha, Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar. In case you want want to volunteer in Tanzania outside these locations, let us know and we will work together to arrange something that will suite you.
Mission
Is to use western skills, enthusiasm, expertise and passion from volunteers to tackling some of the problems which affect the most needy in Tanzania.
Vision
Is to see local needy communities in Tanzania are empowered and capable of sustaining development initiatives established by western volunteers.

What will you gain
Helping one another is a deep human
intention, and you need not be famous or wealthy to change lives. By volunteer
in Tanzania, you will gain a sense of achievement, expand your horizons, learn
of a great people and a great nation and also, raise your self-worth by
fulfilling a basic calling among the human race. More importantly, you will
realize the meaning of humility and the pride and value that Tanzanians have
for their country. And reciprocally, they will respect and trust you.
For businesses, volunteer in Tanzania can help you create
new contacts, receive referrals from various sources and also increase your
customer base significantly. Is there a better way to boost one’s confidence than to take
responsibility for a task, organize other volunteers and make something happen?
You can also apply your success as a leader on a volunteer job on your resume,
as well as in the future professional endeavors.
