I had an absolutely amazing time volunteering here. From start to finish I was always made to feel welcome. Jackson picked me up from the airport and brought me to the house which was lovely and all the other volunteers embraced me nicely. I got a double room to myself which was great. The hours were what to expect and the kids at both schools I was at were tremendous. The food whilst a little repetitive and plain was nice.

It was a really good experience. The host family became a second family, the people I met became my close friends. The hospital experience was very formative and I recommend it to all medical students and doctors. The organisation is excellent and the possibilities for discovering the organization, in your free time, are endless. Thank you for making me feel at home. i will always carry this fantastic experience in my heart.

It was very meaningful to be a volunteer for the Samaritan Volunteers project. You live immersed in their reality and touch their simple way of life, you feel you are contributing to the children's the organization by giving them and yourself happy memories of days spent together. The children fill you with love. Emmanuel is very present and attentive to the needs of the volunteers, and along with him all the other members who support the project on an organisational and logistical level. Recommended experience. Asante Sana!

I just finished my two weeks in chamazi, with samaritan volunteers. I had the possibility to help those children learn math and English, but in the end I realised that they were teaching to me,I was the student and I learned to appreciate the things that I have and to not give everything for granted. I shared this two weeks with some incredible people, first of all my girlfriend Sofia and then all the people from all over the world that I met there. I strongly recommend going to Samaritan ( and stay for more than two weeks trust me you wouldn't regret it 😉) bye bye see you in chamazi!!!

The schools and kids were great. I stayed in a room 5 minutes away from the volunteershouse with 2 other girls. The food was good for so many volunteers. I thought I would be teaching older children but I only had babyclass. Nevertheless I had a nice experience and learned a lot from the teachers here.

I participated in this program in December of 2023. I recommend it to any student who's studying medicine and nursing.

This was my first experience with volunteering, and it was a great experience. The host and staff were so nice and welcoming and so were the other volunteers. The work hours were fitting because there was plenty of time to go explore, which I found great!

My experience at samaritan volunteers was very good. It was a lot of fun being a teacher for the lovely children. The children give you a kind of love that I have never received before. I am eternally grateful for this experience and recommend this to everyone who wants to volunteer in the organization. Jackson helps you with everything you would need! The food we got in the volunteer house was very good, and the place I slept was in good condition. Thank you! Asante sana

My experience with the Samaritan volunteers was good! It felt like a home away from home, however as the previous comments say - keep in mind that most of the times there is no running water and the electricity shortages happened often. Working hours are respected and the kids are amazing. The staff that takes care of the house is nice and kind, and the cooked meals were simple but good. Life in Chamazi is simple, and there is a lot of beauty in that. Would definitely recommend the experience!

Thank you for your feedback and we really appreciate your opinion and respect too. We have shortage of power ( electricity) in all the country. Running water depends on the electricity , if we don't have electricity means we will also have shortage of running water. We have this problem in the country for almost 3 consecutive months and we hope soon the Government will solve it and life will get back to normal

Thank you for all the Great experience we shared together with our children and we had the best memories of you

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at Samaritan!! The children are truly amazing and really get into your heart. The accommodation and food was really basic, so don't expect to be in a hotel resort as it sometimes was really challenging. It was great meeting other volunteers from around the world and we would totally recommend gaining this special experience you will cherish for a life time
