    Over het programma

    The Future Stars Academy (FSA) was founded by Alfred Itaeli in 2009. 

    This non-profit organization helps to empower young children and teenagers both physically and mentally, through sport. FSA provides football training, competitions, and tournaments to disadvantaged children aged 4 to 20 years old.  

    The Future Stars Academy gives these young people a chance to build their football and life skills, which can continue to support and empower them in later years, but also engage with local community and support their development  through different activities such as inter-school leagues, health and sport empowerment and other sports competition. 

    The working days are from Monday to Thursday, and Saturday.
    Work starts at 9am and usually ends at 4pm. Lunch is not provided.


    From Monday to Thursday, 9am – 1pm, volunteers will be working in the office.
    Some afternoons from Monday to Thursday, volunteers will have the chance to go to local schools to help with football training.
    Saturdays from 10am to 12pm, will be football training.

    This project does not require any previous experience, however, any related skills are helpful, as is a love for football. The project’s office is located 10 KM (6.8 miles) from our hostel, and is accessible via public transport.


    PLEASE NOTE: The project requests a weekly donation of $50. The money is used to pay staff salaries, fund football training, and purchase sporting goods.

    Over de organisatie

    Viva Tanzania is a German-Tanzanian organization established in order to support meaningful and needy projects in Arusha, North Tanzania.

    Ontmoet je organisatie

    Viva Tanzania was established in 2015 by Tizia Doriye due to her passion for intercultural encounters, tourism and nature. Tizia is a Cultural Anthropologist by profession. Together with our local team we want to make sure that you can make experiences abroad in a safe environment.

    We want to assist people from all over the world and Tanzanians to learn from one another through intercultural exchange. By helping foreigners to find meaningful projects that need support we do not only want to enable them to gain experience in working and being with people from different origins but also broaden the horizonts of everyone. Our mission is to establish an environment in which intercultural encounter can take place. Our participants will be enabled to gain first hand experience in a totally different sourrounding from what they are knowing. We want to show them the diversity of people, cultures and lifestyles. On the other hand we want to support needy projects in Arusha, our hometown.

    Our vision is to change the people's perception of Africa, Tanzania and its inhabitants through challenging and reducing stereotypes and racism. We believe that this can only be done through intercultural exchange like volunteering.

    Tizia is the of Viva Tanzania. She has a Bachelor in Cultural Anthropology and she wrote her Bachelor thesis about Maasai stereotypes in media and tourism. She loves her three kids and three dogs as well as the life in Tanzania. She is responsible for the website, the marketing and the communication before, while and after your stay. She already spent a year as a volunteer in Tanzania and did an internship in Arusha. She is also a yoga teacher and a massage therapist. So she definitely knows what’s important to make your time unforgettable. At the same time she is your contact person for all intercultural issues and problems.
