Kuzuri Tanzania

While volunteering with us, you’ll have the unique opportunity to live with a local Tanzanian family and experience the country’s traditions, language, and culture firsthand. We welcome you into our home with open arms, treating you as one of our own—offering not just a place to stay, but a true cultural exchange and lifelong connection.

In addition to the opportunity to volunteer at one of the schools or orphanages we support, we also invite you to get involved with our community center. This center is a unique and vital addition to the area, dedicated to supporting education and providing assistance to local people in need. It’s a meaningful and rewarding way to make a lasting impact during your time with us.

For the past seven years, my family and I have had the joy of hosting over 200 volunteers from a wide range of countries and backgrounds. Welcoming volunteers into our home is something we truly love—not only because of the incredible impact they make on our community, but also because of the joy, cultural exchange, and lasting friendships they bring into our lives.

I take pride in matching each volunteer with a project that aligns with their interests and allows them to feel truly fulfilled. Outside of volunteering, I also help organize unforgettable experiences such as safaris, mountain treks, visits to the hot springs, and cultural tours to places like Maasai villages—ensuring our guests enjoy the best that Tanzania has to offer.

My family especially loves sharing our culture through food. We prepare traditional African meals for our guests and always enjoy learning new Western recipes in return. We also love showing volunteers around Arusha, helping them experience our way of life, traditions, and warm hospitality.

When I’m not working or exploring, I enjoy learning about local wildlife and plants, experimenting in the kitchen, or relaxing with a good movie.
