Why choose Team Vista?

Team Vista has 5 projects in a slum community on the outskirts of Moshi. The community of Kaloleni has an approximate population of 12,000 people and was originally the old Moshi rubbish dump until people started to build structures to live in, on the dump, pushing the dump further out of town. It houses some of the poorest people in the area and has high unemployment and HIV rates.

Our projects include a Nursery school and the following:
- Women’s empowerment groups
- Children’s home, with 6 abandoned children from the Kaloleni community.
- Nursery school – 2 classes of 20.
- Child sponsorship of our kids from nursery – form 6.
- Adult education programs – entrepreneurship & business development classes
- Vicoba Community bank
- Youth skill training

Volunteer in Tanzania with Team Vista

Volunteering with Team Vista - A Truly Rewarding Experience

Dec 4, 2014

In July 2014, I volunteered with Team Vista in Moshi, Tanzania, for 5 weeks. It was truly an incredible experience and I feel I gained a lot, both personally and professionally. It was so great being able to work closely with the locals and develop friendships with so many.

The work was varied and interesting. I assisted with maintenance work at the secondary school (re-concreting floors, fixing furniture, etc.), spent time with the beautiful children at the Children's Home and also did some investigation work for an upcoming project for the organisation.

I found my experience incredibly rewarding, and am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Team Vista. Tanzania is a beautiful place and the people are amazing, so warm and welcoming. Definitely highly recommend visiting, and what better way to do it than with Team Vista!!

What would you improve about this program?
There is not much structure to the program, but to be honest I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. There is no one telling you what to do each day; this program requires the person to take initiative and identify what tasks could be done to most benefit the people. This forced me out of my comfort zone and ultimately made the experience so much more rewarding.
