Savvy Brain Academy Tanzania

We live in a quiet village which is near Mwanza city, the second largest and fast growing city of our country, Tanzania.
The area is home of the Sukuma Tribe which is the largest tribe in our country. Volunteering at our project gives our volunteers opportunity to visit this place as much as they can during their free time.
Also the volunteer can get a chance to visit Saanane Island, the marvelous Island found in city area.
We care for less fortunate children at our centre and this is a noble cause which our volunteers really like to leave a mark to the lives of these kids through volunteering.
The future and development of these kids are in jeopardy and we are the only hope to create a better future for them, so, a volunteer to these kids is a family member and not a stranger.
The early childhood care and education is a new concept in our educational system through out the country, when someone decide to volunteer at our centre he/she is the really help and needed one and very unique.
By volunteering at our place, a volunteer can get a chance to go for a Safaris or tour at an affordable cost with reliable companies.

I was born in 1986 and my father refused to take his parental responsibility since my mother informed him that she is pregnant. My mother struggled a lot with me to give me the nonetheless education I have. I discovered myself how hard was it for me to get education and this made me to think about helping the most destitute rural children. I am a charming and open person working day and night to find a way to make these kids realizing their dreams. I have a very nice staff and any volunteer who have already met them and our kids always feel so happy and wanting to be here with us. We are all cooperative to our volunteers and care for them so much because their time with us mean a lot.

I feel deeply grateful for the beautiful experience I lived at Savvy Brain. It was truly special and filled my heart with joy. Sharing moments with the children and doing my part to help the school become a better place has been unforgettable. I felt so loved and cared for by William’s family, and their kindness made me feel safe and at home during all my time in Mwanza.

The first couple of days were difficult for me as I arrived on a weekend so the work with the school had not started yet. However, after going to the school and starting the volunteering work, I felt very happy and fulfilled. Everyone is lovely and William's view of Savvy Brain Academy is truly inspiring and I am very glad to have decided to volunteer with them. Overall it was a transformative experience that I recommend for those who are interested in personal growth through cultural immersion and social work.

Asante sana!!!😊

Although I was unable to spend as long a time as I originally hoped for with William due to personal reasons, I still had a great and informative experience. William shows a genuine care for his community and works day in day out. He was nothing but kind and welcoming to me and gave me my first Tanzanian experience. Would highly recommend and cannot thank William, Josephine, Joanne, his wonderful children Jenli, Bnega and Jessie and everyone at SHEEO and SBA enough.

Infelizmente minha experiência não foi como eu imaginava. William é uma pessoa muito boa mas ficou a maior parte do tempo viajando. Quem realmente foi INCRIVELMENTE foi sua esposa. Me ajudou demais. Em relação as atividades na escola, achei tudo muito livre. Nao é passado nada para o voluntario. Eu acredito que para realmente fazer a diferença, é necessário ter mais de um voluntário lá, ao mesmo tempo. Para mim, foi muito dificil ficar sozinha. Talvez se eu tivesse ido com alguém ou tivessem outros voluntários, seria melhor. O william deixou a desejar, mas sua esposa foi perfeita.
