Descrição
My name is Justin, the Chairman of the board of directors at a newly registered NGO that seeks to empower our community with handwork skills as well as entrepreneurship education. Our country like in most places in the world is now faced with a growing population without significant economic growth to provide jobs or affordable education resulting in a high number of unskilled youth on the streets with nothing to do. This is where we come in and offer free training along with entrepreneurship skills so as to make it possible for the graduates of our program to either work at our project partners or go employ themselves.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Travelers coming to us will benefit in very many ways such as understanding the local life, and getting to see how people from a different side of the world go about their lives. You will also get to learn a new language in Swahili - The most widely spoken African language with over 100 million speakers across East and Central Africa. We also have cultural trips as well as cooking sessions at the house where you can learn how to make Tanzanian dishes just as much as we would love to learn from you. While at the projects you can also learn a new skill that you didn't have like jewelry making.

We believe in the power of empowerment through handcraft skills. As an NGO dedicated to uplifting women in our community in Arusha, Tanzania, we provide training in a variety of traditional handcraft skills, including hand weaving, tailoring, batik printing, and beading. Through these skills, we aim to equip women with the tools they need to support themselves and their families, fostering economic independence and self-sufficiency.
We welcome Workaway travelers who share our passion for women's empowerment and are eager to contribute their time and skills to our cause. There are several ways in which volunteers can make a meaningful impact here:
1. Training Assistance: Volunteers with experience in handcraft skills such as weaving, tailoring, batik printing, or beading can assist in training sessions, providing guidance, support, and encouragement to our participants as they learn and hone their craft. Whether it's demonstrating techniques, offering feedback, or troubleshooting challenges, volunteers play a crucial role in helping women build confidence and proficiency in their chosen skill.
2. Marketing and Promotion: In addition to hands-on training, volunteers can lend their expertise to help promote the design and its products. This may involve creating marketing content such as videos, photographs, and social media posts to showcase our handmade products and tell the stories of the women behind them. Volunteers with skills in videography, photography, graphic design, and social media management are especially valuable in this capacity.
3. Community Engagement: Volunteers can also assist in community outreach efforts, helping to raise awareness about the design and the opportunities we provide for women in the community. This may include organizing events, participating in local markets or fairs, and engaging with potential customers and supporters to spread the word about our mission and impact.
No matter their skill set or background, every volunteer plays a vital role in empowering women and creating positive change in our community. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of women in Arusha, one stitch at a time.Idiomas

Two rooms are inside the house and use a shared bathroom; one is just before the house entrance with a private bathroom shared by two people. The rooms have shared huge wardrobes and side tables. All beds in Twill rooms are double-decker and are covered with large four-door mosquito nets from top to bottom. All beds come with a custom blanket made from leftover fabrics 6X5 feet and a 60X95-inch handwoven blanket.
We also provide you with three meals. Breakfast and dinner will be served at the accommodation (The Woven House) while lunch will be served at the project where you will work. The project lunch is mostly Tanzanian while at the Woven House food will range from local dishes to Western foods.Algo mais...

We can organize sightseeing, games safaris, Mountain hikes (like Climbing Kili), cultural tours and beach holidays. We have a car at the project so going around should not be a challenge.
