Make A Huge Impact

Volunteering at New Stars Foundation in Tanzania is truly a life-changing experience. Not just for our volunteers, but especially for the women and kids you’ll support. Teach kids who would usually not have the chance to get an education. You will see your and the NGO’s impact with your own eyes, meet lots of wonderful people along the way and get to experience the real Tanzanian culture by staying with a guest family.

Highlights

Why Volunteer With Us?

  • Teach kids who would otherwise not have the chance to get pre-primary education
  • Make a big difference on the lives of the kids and women of our organization
  • Get to know what it’s like to work for an NGO. You’ll also meet our partner NGOs on the way
  • Stay with a guest family and experience the Tanzanian way of life. Learn Swahili and eat local food
  • In your free time, explore the beautiful country Tanzania. You could visit a hot spring, waterfall, lakes, mountains, a Maasai village, the Kilimanjaro or go on a Safari
We Need Your Skills

What Are My Tasks?

We organize presentations and workshops for women so they can learn English, get basic information and learn different skills in order to earn a regular income and support their families. 

For this we need you volunteers! If you have skills like baking, decorating, cooking jams, sewing, creating hanging gardens, making natural cosmetics or anything that could be sold on the streets (to tourists or locals), you could help us a lot. We just need to see which materials are available in Tanzania.

Former volunteers taught the women how to bake international cakes. Maybe later we could make a service for parties where we cook, bake and decorate. Another idea we love is learning how to sew clothes and make reusable pads. However, so far only certain materials are approved to be used as reusable pads and we can’t get them in Tanzania.

Another ongoing project we are working on is sewing tote bags from colorful African cotton fabric. We have a sewing machine and buy the fabric at the market. We are in need of volunteers for this project, as we need you to sell the bags as a way of collecting money for our organization. So it would be great if you could continue this project as it is an important part of our fundraising. 

Any other ideas are welcome too. We’d love to hear them!
