    Ontmoet je organisatie

    Samaritan Volunteers is an Organization registered under the Non-Government Organization Act with Registration Number 00NGO/R/2581. The Organization based in providing and supporting education for children from low-income families in Chamazi community. We run a school know as Samaritan Education Centre which provide free education for a maximum of 100 children from kindergarten level to secondary education. The school was founded in September 2018 with the help of international volunteers who are regularly visit our project throughout the year. We are located in the South party of Dar es salaam region in a village called Chamazi. Our village is one of the safety place to be, people here are very friendly and welcoming and they always like to share our tradition and culture with people from abroad. The local life experience here is amazing since you will get immersed with our culture and experience the everyday life of locals

    Our mission and vision is to ensure that every child in Tanzania wants to study and have the opportunities for that. We believe that a child future success and advancement in life is greatly influenced by their early educational experience as those who go to school early develop an interest in education more than those who have not participate in early learning education.

    Our goals is every child to have access to a vibrant safe and stimulating place to study. Every neighborhood should have a modern school area that is suitable for children, whatever their family's income. We believe that education is a necessary and a human right, not a luxury. 

    We are looking for volunteers international and local volunteers with education skills and those who are willing and passion to help and supporting education for our children. We are sure that truly helping children requires cultural exchanging with people from different countries and by inviting volunteers we will be able to improve the mindset and motivation of each and every child.
