VOLUNTEERING IN GENERAL

Should you wish to volunteer in Kawe, we can arrange a volunteer placement in either an orphanage,  primary school or any field of interest. The Watoto Kwanza Project along with World Jet Travel are making this possible. Volunteers are either housed in a volunteer house or billeted with local African families for a more genuine experience of Tanzania.
