Teaching and Community Volunteering

We are Francis and Juma, two friends from different backgrounds brought together by a shared passion for education and community development. Francis is originally from Malawi, while Juma is from the beautiful island of Zanzibar. Together, we manage a community based organisation in Zanzibar dedicated to empowering children and improving access to education.

Our work focuses on supporting children's education through our kindergarten, English classes and computer classes. We believe every child deserves an opportunity to learn, develop new skills and build a brighter future.

We are passionate about creating opportunities for children in our community, and we welcome international volunteers who share the same vision. We believe that everyone has something valuable to share, regardless of their background or professional experience.

By joining us, you become part of our small community family. You will have the opportunity to interact with local children, exchange cultures, share ideas, make new friendships and experience everyday life in Zanzibar.

We also believe volunteering should leave you with enough time to enjoy your destination. That's why our volunteers only help for 2 hours a day, 4 days a week, giving you plenty of free time to explore the beautiful island of Zanzibar, enjoy its beaches, discover local attractions and experience our culture.

We look forward to welcoming you, sharing experiences and making a difference together!
