This experience was better than I could have ever imagined! The hospitality of both the project and Everlight was perfect, we felt extremely welcomed and looked after over the entire trip. We also got to explore Arusha with host the project, by visiting local attractions, markets and shops. The school the project works with is such an amazing organisation and was an experience I will never forget. My friend and I that completed this World Packers experience feel so lucky that we found the project's page!

Our Stay the project was beyond anything we could have imagined! From the moment we met him it instantly felt like a safe welcoming home. the project was attentive with all our needs, and made sure our safety was a top priority. Everlight was a gem, she cooked (we helped!), she helped with our washing and was just an all rounder. We visited the school each day, which was a beautiful experience, which we also found the strong connection the project has built with this community of people already. We also got taken around to local markets and restaurants to experience the local culture. Highly Recommend. ❤️

Kenny is a genuine and spontaneous person who cares about every detail of your stay. You'll live at his home, enjoying delicious local dishes prepared by Heavenlight, his trusted housekeeper. Volunteering takes place in orphanages and schools in Arusha, offering a chance to experience real Tanzania. As Kenny says, he doesn't let you visit Tanzania, he makes you live it. The program is flexible (go with the flow), and with him you can also arrange safaris, excursions, and discover authentic local places. Truly recommended!

Meeting Kenny and his triends has been one of the best thing that happened so far. My mum and I lived next to the organization, hosted by Kenny's friends: we created a deep bond and telt like part of the family. These people, the kids and the places have stolen our heart. Kenny is an amazing guy: sociable, reliable, always available and always checking if everything is going good. At the organization you take care of the kids, following their needs and making them feel loved. I have a lot to say, but too little space, so feel free to text me. Overall, a life-changing experience ❤️ Asante

My time at the home was amazing. Kenny, the host, became a dear friend, guiding me through a truly enriching experience. Working with the children stole my heart. Their love and joy left a lasting impression. Please extend my best wishes to them. At the home, I felt completely at home, embraced by a warm community and genuine connections. Unfortunately I can't write fully how amazing my experience was but if you have any questions feel free to message me.
