The Experience

We are a small family-run Organic farm and supply fresh product to Markets. We have a huge variety of fruit & vegetables along with herbs and native/exotic plants. It is very important to us that there are organizations like ours, that can influence the population, people from our community and from different places can come to know our organization and our farm, bring their children, they can see animals and see how vegetables grow sustainably.

An experience that I highly recommend James and his family were fantastic, they really make you feel at home, and in addition to the volunteering experience all the outings and weekend excursions that James organized for us were fantastic, I hope to return one day.

James and his family made this an unbelievable experience. Especially James helps with everything he can to make this a unique time for everyone. He helps with organizing the appropriate work and also with a lot of things for your free time. I really recommend this place as you can so much and further get to see a lot of things, especially on the weekends.☺️

James is a great host, and is truly trying to make an impact with the education of underprivileged children. We felt very welcomed by him and also the family (Mama Kissiri, Elizabeth and of course Faraja). We had a great time during our stay and felt like making an impact there for the library (construction). James was very helpful and helped organizing trips for the weekend and was helpful if there's anything we needed.

This was an amazing experience- James and the Kissiri house are so welcoming and helpful. James will organize the tours for you and is so kind. The kids at the school and library are the sweetest. Would recommend coming here :)

I want to express my gratitude to the Kissiris for hosting me and welcoming as part of their family, giving me the chance to experience authentic tanzanian life. I had alot of fun with the kids in the library, though I do feel my experience would have been better had I come at a different time, as there were many holidays so I couldn't spend as much time with them as I would have liked! Even so, it was still a life changing experience A special mention to James for being supportive throughout and to Mama Kissiri and Betty for their delicious food and warm hospitality I truly felt at home 🤍
