In April 2022 the time had come...

I was fulfilling one of my dreams in life
 

 

                    NOW!

 

Packed with a backpack I started my adventure.

My destination: The city of Arusha in northern Tanzania.

I wanted to help there - wherever I was needed!

 

​

My volunteering journey began  with the German - Tanzanian company STEP AFRICA. I was drawn to the people, the country and the culture from the first second. I was welcomed into the life here with open arms and it soon became clear to me:

​

Big things can be achieved here with little moves!

 

After a few weeks I met Annie, who also came to Arusha as a volunteer. I immediately found in her not only a friend, but also a like-minded individual:

 

We wanted to make a difference! 

​

As elementary school teachers, our first joint project was quickly decided without hesitation:

Armed with brushes and paints, we turned several classrooms and even entire schools into bright, colourful and child-friendly places of learning.

 

In the process we met Nancywho is the head of one of these schools.

 

from that day on, the dream team was complete!

​

We began supporting projects day by day.

We bought clothes for children, medicines for villages that live isolated from any civilization and food for those who don`t have enough of their own.

 

And now for the highlight:

We built our own school -

THE SUNSHINE NURSERY SCHOOL.

​

And that`s not all, together we also opened a day care center near the big market in Arusha. Because it is forbidden by law to have children present at the market, they must stay at home. This means that many are left without care on their own, because their mothers have no choice but to work to provide for them.

​

Mwanzo Daycare opened its doors in May 2022.
