The Project

Arusha Modern School is a private school established in 1999, founded by Mr. Masoud. Presently, the school has around 150 students ranging from preschool to grade 7. The preschool and primary school are in the same compound so volunteers will have the flexibility to teach a wide range of ages.

Please keep an open mind and remember that the conditions in schools in Tanzania are quite different to schools in your home country. The classrooms are often poorly equipped, for example.

Testimonials

"I have dedicated my time to the love and gift of teaching at Arusha Modern School. The Tanzanian teachers, the children and all the staff played a huge part in my volunteering and we all worked hard to make a difference. I had a wonderful three months at Villa Viva and it was a great pleasure to be here. The food and care from the Villa Viva staff has been so great. The executive director of the organization has a heart of gold! She has created an amazing organization that is bringing positive change and prosperity to the lives of many people here in Arusha. I was very happy to work with her."
