  Description

  I am twenty six 27 years old Tanzanian guy who was born and studied in one of the very poor community where kids, youths and women are definitely struggling to build their better life situation.
  
  Since I have registered a non profit organization whereby now we are running different projects for the purposes of helping different communities including my community through better and quality education as I believe that better education equals better future.
  
  I opened a children school where children are attending daily lessons to get better education and we there is madams who are also not well professionally but at least they are helping these kids from poor families and communities.
  
  We are located in Arusha district at Sokoni one Ward and it's just ten minutes from the City Center of Arusha and 45 minutes to Kilimanjaro Airport.
  
  PROJECTS
  
  ON GOING PROGRAMS
  
  1. CHILDREN SCHOOL AND CHILDCARE
  
  We run a children school where kids are getting daily lesson from 08:00am to 03:00pm from Monday to Friday. Our kids are aged from two years to six years old where they are taught by using Swahili and Basic English Language by our madams and teachers. At school we have two main programs Teaching and Childcare where everyone with a heart to help can participate
  
  2. SPORT AND TOURNAMENT PROGRAM
  
  In 2023 we have launched our football tournament called CHARITY CUP which aims to introduce young players, local teams and academies to the big Teams and Clubs in Tanzania for the aims of helping them reach their dreams. The tournament is held once a year on June when most of school in holiday
  
  
  3. ECO FARMING
  
  After opening the school than now can give the chance to more than one hundred children from poor families in Arusha. We have launched an eco farming project because at school the food for the children became a new challenge and we need to work on it. We therefore started an eco farm where for the moment we cultivate maize and beans which helps to get the food for the children. Also through this project we educate local farms in Arusha on how the hey can do a proper farming for their farmers.
  
  4.TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
  
  Tanzania is now a fast growing country and it give opportunities to foreigners to come and work in Tanzania. With this program of exchanging language which will help local to learn new languages even in basic speaking can help local to have better and new opportunities to speak with foreigners when looking for a new job opportunities.
  
  
  We believe in team work, therefore me and my team who are operating these programs together with Children, Youths and Women will be more than happy to welcome and host people from different countries in the world and share with us their experiences.

  Why does Workaway allow some hosts to charge a fee?

  
  

  Workaway provides opportunities for non-monetary cultural exchanges where hosts provide food and accommodation in return for help from Workawayers. In some exceptional cases, a small fee/ donation request (typically no more than 5 dollars per day) may be approved for hosts such as registered charities with a history of positive volunteer feedback. Any fee must directly go to the charity and can only be used to cover the volunteers' food costs. This will be clearly marked on the host's listing.
  

  Listings by agents, "middle-men" or projects that appear to profit from a volunteer's stay are strictly prohibited. Any fees must be discussed and approved in advance by the Workaway team.

  5 USD for food
