Working at WEEDO has been a lifechanging experience. Rehema, the founder of this project is an incredible Person, and I am so lucky I got to know her. She really believes in changing the life and opportunities for as most Tanzanian girls as she can, the mayority of them coming from extremely hard backgrounds. This School is a Safe space for them to create a brighter future and empower them to dream big. They need people to believe in them. The house, the school, the times, the meals, everything is great and the Tanzanian people is extra welcoming. I will miss the girls and the team so much.

I did my internship (2 months) at WEEDO in the field of communication. It was an incredible experience, far beyond my expectations. I learned a lot in so many areas…Everyone, the staff, the girls and Rehema were very kind and welcoming to me. Rehema is a very nice person, very welcoming, she made me discover a lot of things. I created great relationships with the girls and if I had to do it again, I would definitely do it again! I am happy to have done my internship with this the organization. Kigamboni is a very nice place to live and there is a very beautiful beach nearby. Thank you WEEDO! :)

Teaching at WEEDO was a beautiful experience since the girls were really welcoming, loving, and eager to learn. The open communication with Rehema and reoccurring feedback meetings made me feel supported and in good hands. Also the ongoing optimization of processes in the the organization showed that the positive longterm impact on the girls is the number one priority and not taken lightly. Overall, I was able to learn a lot about the culture, connect with locals, and share lots of beautiful moments I will never forget and thought me a lot.

First of all Weedo staff is very nice tracking your arrival and helping. Then, you really get involved with the culture. People is so nice. I was teaching basic computer to the girls and felt so happy to see their progress. It was sooo hard to say goodbye. I recommend to anyone that really wants to get immerse with Tanzanian and African culture, know other volunteers, bond with the girls/students and staff, and help in the organization girls. Pd. I did 1 month only but recommend to stay at least 2. To have better progress with girls/students. Love you Weedo

I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of this amazing the organization. The main mission is to provide young women with skills they can use to be independent and support themselves. WEEDO really cares about the girls there and everyone is very opened to new ideas that could help with achieving their mission and goals. I wish I could have stayed longer and do more. The location was perfect, you can immerse yourself in the local culture (I recommend going for a run with the local community even if you're not a runner) but you're also close enough to the city. A life changing experience for me!

I had a really great, trully immersive and life changing experience here. It was everything I dreamed of and more. I am really grateful for the structure the host and WEEDO created to help volunteers have a great living. I slept comfortably every night and over time, the place of stay started to feel like home. Though living in Tanzania was an adjustment, I am very grateful for the host and the the organization for doing their best to make me feel cared for. Rehema was always on call and took the time to build a strong relationship with me during my time here. Thank you for everything.

My best advice for you is "Don't stay with your host". I believe that WEEDO is doing a noble deed in regard of improving the lives of young women. The Tanzanian government doesn't care for the education of young generations. Only elementary and secondary schools are free. Also, education is not obligatory. WEEDO is helping in transforming the lives of young women who couldn't make it. the the organization prepares them to join the workforce and helps them in finding internships.

I could have a very rewarding time here as a volunteer. Because the period when I joined WEEDO was one of their busiest seasons. In addition to that, unfortunately, we had blackouts and unstable Wifi many times due to the historic drought. These challenging situations made us collaborate more productively. WEEDO staff provided directions precisely and simply. Volunteers were asked to do more voluntarily. As a result, we could da pretty productive job building up good relationships. I hope we collaborate again for WEEDO and the users.
