This type of volunteering allows you to travel affordably—you’ll stay with a Tanzanian family in Arusha who will host you and provide 3 meals a day for $15/day in return for helping in teaching.

You’ll meet volunteers from around the world and live an experience that’s nothing like typical tourism.
You’ll immerse yourself deeply in Tanzanian culture through living with the family. Life in Tanzania is much cheaper than in Europe.

About Arusha:
