You know how to handle sweet babies and toddlers? How to help them discover the world and learn new skills? Then that’s the right Programm for you!

This is our newest Programm and the goal is to help the women, because tanzania doesn’t have maternity leave, so after giving birth they have to go back to work immediately or they will be fired.

Over het programma

This is our newest Programm and the goal is to help the women, because tanzania doesn’t have maternity leave, so after giving birth they have to go back to work immediately or they will be fired. So often the babies are left alone or with someone irresponsible. Or the women can’t go back to work and can’t earn money. So you will help the daycare teachers to care for the children, such that the parents can go to work. The mamas can bring their babies in the morning at 8AM, go to work and then pick them up later around 1PM when they finished. It’s like a daycare- all play based - and will ensure the babies and Mamas the best start in a new life. You will feed the small babies with bottles and help to prepare them, change diapers, play with them or just give them love, put them to sleep, feed the toddlers and also play with them and show them this beautiful world we live in! 

Also in the orphanage are always between 5-10 abandoned or trafficked babies in need of love and cuddles!

Then you feed the small babies with bottles and help the cradle workers to prepare them, change the babies diapers if needed and hold then in your arms, or enjoy them playing and learning new skills. You will aswell feed the toddlers and play with them outside and make them smile. After the mamas picked the babies at 1PM again, you can remove the toys back to the stores and prepare the things for the next day. In the orphanage you can help them bath the babies abs put them down for their nap or just hold them right and cuddle. After that, you can enjoy arusha in your freetime and go to coffees, museums, the pools here or wherever you like to go! 

You can already see those small feet crawling or already running to you? Then come to volunteer with us in our baby cradle!

Over de organisatie

You’re ready dive into another culture, have the most beautiful experience of your lifetime, make children smile, and see the beauty of Africa? You can make a difference!

Ontmoet je organisatie

Who is giving hands?

We are Sarah - a German physical therapist who decided to stay here in Tanzania & Emmanuel - a Tanzanian safari and tour guide - will do anything to give you the most beautiful time here in Africa.

Our team members all grew up here in Arusha and are well experienced in tourism and internationality. We offer you fair prices for all our tours and safaris around Arusha and guide you through this beautiful experience. Me myself, I volunteered for 6 months in different projects, so I know the problems and adventures you may face as people from another culture and can also give you important information regarding volunteering in Tanzania. This combination of knowledge and experience helps us to understand your needs and help you wherever we can to make your stay unforgettable! 


What do we do?

We founded this social project to help the people in Tanzania, because we can’t save the world alone. That’s why we need Y O U !  We provide a housing and fresh cooked meals in our house for you during your stay and we give you the opportunity to work voluntarily in several different projects like children care, hospitals, schools, babyhomes, environmental projects or women empowerment projects to help the community and increase intercultural exchange. Emmanuel as a native will show you the town Arusha, which bus to take, how to dress properly, where to go and how to behave in this culture and we bring you in those projects the first day, such that you know what to do and where to go. 


Where are we?

We - and also you if you come - live in Arusha, Tanzania. Tanzania itself is located in Eastern Africa and is a very safe country. You can trust me as a European, I‘ve never been scared or felt offended at any time (which is also because Emmanuel explained me well on the first days). The people here are so open minded and warmly welcome everyone, no matter which religion or skin colour, they are just nice to each other. Arusha is THE tourism town, because every Safari starts from here, so we have supermarkets, coffees, restaurants and many hotels, just like in Europe. The gap between very poor and very rich people is quite big here, so you will find every kind of person on the road. It’s just colourful and nice here, but see for yourself!


Our vision is, to help the community of Africa. Not just help them temporarily but to help them help themselves better. This can only be done together, that’s why we need you. We also wish to show you the t r u e Africa with its true people and show you this wonderful but also very different culture. Come visit us and we show you the beauty of this wonderful place of earth.

On top of that we aim to teach English to poor children, such that they can have a future and good education means also a good job. 

Furthermore we aim to educate the women and also the men (starting in school) about hygienical issues, menstruation and sexual diseases like HIV or explain them about how not to get pregnant in a young age to ensure a better future for the girls. 

My personal goal as a therapist is of course also to help those in need such as people with diseases or special need children, because their life is hard itself but in a poor country without any chance of earning money it’s even harder. 


Who are we looking for?

We are looking for motivated people who want to get to know the real Africa and do their volunteering in the most beautiful country with people who really need our help. It’s important to be open minded and simply interested in this other culture.


Why choose us?

First, we bring travelling (such as safaris, trip to hot springs or maasai villages or other tours) and volunteering together, to guarantee you the most beautiful experience of your life! 

The projects that we offer are all well evaluated, and we also visit them regularly to ensure a lasting impact to the society and that everything is working well. We are always in good communication with all the projects, their managers and the people around and work together with them happily already for more than 2 years.

On top of that, 50!USD of the money you pay go directly to the project you volunteer for! This ensures them a financial support for their daily needs, as you will see when you reach there.

To start your adventure, you get a Orientation tour through the city of Arusha in which our team members explain you everything you have to know about living here peacefully. We pick a tanzanian SIM card with you, show you how to pick money and bring you to local markets and a big western supermarket where you can get everything you need. Our volunteer hostel is very central in Arusha, such that you can even get everything by foot nearby. We also bring you to your project on your first day, to show you everything.

We cook for you Breakfast and Dinner from Monday to Friday with delicious African tea and coffee, bread with peanut butter, butter and jam and a special every day like pancakes, mandazi, eggs, guacamole with avocado or fruits. For dinner we serve a mixture of African and western dishes like spaghetti, rice and chapati. The food is mostly vegetarian, if you have allergies or anything don’t hesitate to let us know, such that we can adapt the food. It’s even mostly vegan for those who want.

We really do this with love and all our hearts, you will live in our house with maximum 6 other people in a room with maximum 4 people each room and enough space - so it’s very familiar and comfortable and not crowded and unknown as many other hostels here. If you have anything on your mind or want to ask something we will be there for you. 

Also our location is very close to supermarkets and restaurants and a fresh fruit and vegetable market, so you can enjoy the tastiness of Africa! 

On top of that we offer you all our trips like safaris and other weekend trips for special prices, that’s actually very cool. 

And we will truly put you into projects that really need help and also give you an impact of this wonderful African culture. Emmanuel as a native will cook (very delicious) African food and explain you a lot about the culture. You could also take Swahili lessons or just ask if you need to know anything - fell free, hakuna matata!

My first trip to Africa, never before I was so far away from home, and then for 2 months and alone. Arriving at the hostel was great, the owners immediately welcomed me and gave me the feeling that one is safe here and that they take care of you. The freshly cooked food from Helena was always ...
