My time with Samaritan Volunteers was
Truly unforgettable. From the very first moment I felt welcomed, safe and at home. The food was freshly homemade by a private chef. The children are simply wonderful, eager to learn, well behaved and fully of joy. It’s a truly complete and enriching experience that I would recommend at a 100% to any traveler looking to make a real impact. A heartfelt thank you to Emmanuel, Jackson and the whole Samaritan family for their incredible hard work, detailed information and constant support. You made this journey even more especial!! All best, Andrea

The experience overall was amazing, i personally got along really well with every other volunteer in the house and everyone in Chamazi. I think it helped me a lot improving my english, and made me do some unforgettable experiences that i will carry forever. Emmanuel and Jackson started a really good organization, and they hired the right people for everything, in the house Ibra, Sauda, Masai and Janet are incredible and Mfaume became like a real brother for me. The kids are absolutely amazing and so are the teachers, and everybody around the community. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

My experience was incredible! Emanuel and his team made everything seamless, from joining the program to arriving in Tanzania. They welcomed me at the airport and ensured I felt at home right away.
At the volunteer house, I connected with amazing people from around the world who quickly became like family. Living within the local community allowed us to fully immerse ourselves, forming meaningful connections.
Working with the kids was truly heartwarming they are full of energy, curiosity, and joy. I learned so much from them, and the experience was deeply rewarding. Can’t wait to go back
