My name is Augustino and together with our local team we welcome volunteers into the project as equals, taking every opportunity to learn from and develop each other through the process. We try our hardest to be accommodating our visitors needs and preferences while sharing with them our culture and community. On arrival you’ll also be taught some basic Swahili too to help you get by in the local town and interact with the community, this will facilitate volunteer independence for those that are seeking it.

Mission Statement

Help disadvantaged children to learn and grow for the benefit of the community! This project offers the opportunity to experience tho culture and lifestyle of tanzania. The location is a new and relatively rural ward of a large city which facilitates access to both environments. We’re also located close enough to the Serengeti to visit at weekends if desired. Join our cooperative and together we can achieve more! Our future goals is to make the project financially sustainable, we plan to operate on a non-profit basis with community funds provided by a small number of paying students from regular families. This will allow us to grow further, supporting more disadvantaged children and allow us to provide education up to a higher age too.

Description

Needed: volunteers for Next Smile kindergarten in the Kishiri region of Mwanza-TANZANIA

Hi, my name is Augustino Kahayi. I am the co-founder of Next Smile Kindergarten and am committed to improving the lives of local children by keeping the project moving forward.

About the Next Smile kindergarten:

This is a Kindergarten situated close to Mwanza (Tanzanias second largest city) in sub-town called igoma ward

It was officially established on October 2nd in 2021, the main goals being to provide education and promote Early Childhood development on a charitable basis. Since that time we have worked with the local community to secure land and build two classrooms.

Many of the children we support are orphans and currently all are from families who cannot afford education. As such, we currently run the project entirely through community support.




We are currently looking for any skilled or unskilled friends and volunteers as our activities and
Volunteer program is without limits.
