Education in Tanzania remains inaccessible to many due to financial constraints. As both public and private schools require tuition fee, uniforms, and learning materials that many families cannot afford. In rural areas, 87% live in poverty, making school expenses unattainable. Even when children enroll, overcrowded classrooms, outdated resources, and long distances (2–7 km) to school hinder learning. The result? Thousands of children are left without an education, trapped in poverty. By investing in education, we can remove barriers and create opportunities for a brighter future.

TESTIMONIALS

England

We spent six weeks volunteering at Kyosei, and what a humbling and rewarding experience it was. We arrived with funds raised for the school after climbing Kilimanjaro and were ready to get involved with the practical side of helping to build the new classrooms at the new site. Steven was both surprised and so thankful for what he didn’t expect from us—the money or that we were ready ‘to get our hands dirty’.

Russia

I thank the Kyosei Foundation for taking me to their family and showing me the real life of this beautiful continent. I worked as a teacher of English and literature with older students who were motivated to learn and gain new knowledge. Together, we read and analyzed African literature and various topics in business English. It was an amazing time that allowed me to feel my need; I saw the result of my contribution to someone’s life.

Sweden

I am now back for my second time at the Kyosei Foundation. I don’t even know where to begin in describing my feelings regarding Kyosei and Tanzania. The warmth you meet, the smiling faces It just fills my heart with joy. The first time I volunteered, I didn’t know what to expect. We went there with open hearts and minds. From day one, Mr. Steven, his wonderful wife, and all the students made us feel welcome and safe.

Volunteering here in Kyosei was an experience we will never forget. We stayed with Steven and his family for two months. The living situation is truly an authentic experience. Be prepared to live like a true Tanzanian. It took us some time to adjust, but we are stronger for it. The people of Arusha have an “Hakuna Matata” attitude; life is at this pace, and things happen according to this mindset. You’ll need to be open and flexible, but you will be thankful in the end. We did many things while volunteering, and Steven and his team are open to using the skills you have. We taught, helped build the new school, did web development, and ran a fundraiser. The classes range from preschool all the way to adult classes with vocational training. Their mission is powerful, and the organization is doing so much to help the children and youth of the future. It was very rewarding to contribute to this mission. You can also go on a multiple-day safari. This is an experience we will always remember and hold close to our hearts. We have our Tanzanian family now! We got pushed out of our comfort zone and grew in many ways. The way we view the world is extremely different. We wish them all the best, and we know they will continue doing amazing things for their community. Thank you for everything!

Joshua, 2019.

Volunteering here was a fantastic, eye-opening experience. The foundation is serving a valuable role in Arusha by helping children further their education in many ways. There was lots going on during the two weeks I spent volunteering. First, there were six other volunteers from various countries, which made it enjoyable to work together and support each other. During my time in October and November, many students were attending catch-up classes to prepare for the start of secondary school in the new year. A couple volunteers spent the majority of their time working on English, math, and science lessons with these kids. Other volunteers helped with the “adult” classes, which could include some teenage students who are working to get themselves back into the government schools or further their vocational training with job-related skills. Other volunteers were helping with construction at the new school site. I mostly helped with digital content, including photos and videos, and helped create a volunteer handbook. There are lots of ways to help, and Steven and his team are happy to get you involved in any way you feel comfortable.
