Program Details

Stay for Free & Help Fundraise for a Primary School in Arusha
Since 2020, we’ve been running a small kindergarten in Arusha, providing free early education to children from low-income families. Now, we’re ready to expand by building a primary school to offer even more opportunities to these children.

We’re looking for passionate individuals who can help us fundraise and reach our goal. In return, you’ll enjoy free accommodation during your stay, experience local culture, and directly contribute to a meaningful cause.

Your efforts will help shape the future of education for vulnerable children in our community.
