Gateway Rehabilitation Center (Home for children with special needs)

My time as a volunteer in Tanzania was unforgettable. The organization is well structured and is committed to the local community with heart and soul. From day one I felt welcome and well guided. The projects are meaningful and impactful!

There was a great commitment from the team and a warm collaboration with the local population. It was not only an opportunity to help, but also to experience the Tanzanian culture in an authentic way. I learned a lot about myself, but also about Tanzania. An inspiring experience that enriched both the community and myself!

My experience in Tanzania was truly one of the best decisions of my life! From the moment I arrived, I was immersed in a new culture, surrounded by warm and welcoming people, and exposed to incredible experiences that enriched my worldview in ways I never expected. Living and helping in a different country challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, adapt to new situations, and develop a deeper sense of independence.

During my time in Tanzania, I learned a new language, built lifelong friendships, and gained invaluable intercultural skills that will benefit me both personally and professionally. A foreign experience like this opens doors to new opportunities, expands your perspective, and helps you grow in ways that staying at home never could. It pushes you to see the world differently and appreciate the beauty of diversity.

I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a experience abroad. It’s more than just helping in a different country—it’s a journey of self-discovery, growth, and adventure. Take the leap; it will change your life!

I had a wonderful stay at the center with the children. It’s a nice place where the kids are living together but where I also had the chance to relax after a busy volunteering day. It’s enriching to see the children with a disability living and growing together but in their own way. They all have different disabilities but they are helping each other always. I also had the chance to experience the Tanzanian culture, going on a safari and seeing nice places. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget!
