Our
Story
The saying “Boresha Maisha” means “improving lives” in Swahili and that is exactly what we wish to accomplish with these volunteer projects – to create possibilities for communities and individuals to work abroad for a cause and grow and help create a better future.
Volunteering abroad, in Tanzania, can be a challenge, especially since today there are hundreds of volunteer organizations out there and it’s hard to know which one is the right one. Boresha Maisha Projects emerged from a pursuit to inspire and support community development ethically, and over the long term. Having seen the bad effects of “voluntourism” many of the volunteering programs create, we wished to find more sustainable projects and causes, where the impacts will last and, not be forgotten by the next arriving volunteers. We wish to create programs specifically for volunteers or students with the appropriate skills and motivations.
