Amazing experience

I highly recommend GHTA. I have just returned from volunteering Jan/Feb 2024 and am planning to return. GHTA is a lovely non-profit , where every cent is aimed at empowering women in Tanzania. Access to education in Tanzania is a problem that GHTA solves for 50 women each year.
As a volunteer, I felt safe and supported and was able to experience full immersion into Tanzanian culture. The guest house is very comfortable, with an unexpected bonus of hot showers! The Tanzanian staff are all dedicated and fun and quick to embrace newcomers with a warm welcome.
The students are motivated and hard-working. It quickly becomes clear that access to education has the potential to truly enrich their lives. Teaching is made easy by a well-developed curriculum and collaboration with the Tanzanian translators.
Traveling around Moshi is easy. The town is a 20 minute walk away, and inexpensive TukTuks are abundant. Free wi-fi is available in a sweet little coffee shop/ wine bar….. but worry not as data is really inexpensive to buy. If you run into any health problems, the nearby clinic, open 24 hrs, is impressive.
The weekly visit to student’s homes is an incredible experience. It provides an important understanding of their lived reality, and serves to deepen our relationships with the students.
Traveling on weekends is readily accessible, and the opportunities to explore Tanzania are many. The people of Tanzania are kind and warm and very welcoming to non-Tanzanian people.
I have volunteered in many places, but am most impressed by my experience with GHTA.
