I volunteered at Peace Matunda orphange for 13 weeks from May-August 2011. It was the best thing I have ever done in my life. I spent time teaching the children at the school and helping at the orphange playing with and tutoring the children. I had time to make a difference at the school also whilst getting to know the...

We just came back from safari in Tanzania and we were able to visit PEACE MATUNDA SCHOOL and orphanage during the one full day we had in Arusha. We had contacted Mr. Kaaya prior to our trip by e-mail and he was wonderful in helping to arrange our visit. We did a half-day tour with them after first being allowed... More

Use this company. It is a great organization that benefits a school and orphanage, and the safari was amazing. We did a 3 day safari to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. We saw a TON of great wildlife. It's really shocking how much you see. All the safari companies have basically the same program, so you're paying... More

I stayed at Peace Matunda Orphanage for 3 months this year. And I must say, it was the best decision ever! I was looking for the right place to do a voluntary placement in Tanzania. Peace Matunda is definitely the right choice if you want to be part of the Meru community, learn about habits and the cultural of the... More

Peace Matunda is an amazing place! I spent 4.5 months there with the wonderful family and beautiful children. The neighboring village of Mt. Meru is so welcoming as well. I left my job in the USA to go, alone, and it was the best decision of my life! I will never forget the time I spent there. It is amazing!... More

The kids are amazing, the surroundings are beautiful and there are some home comforts (including a TV in the house!). I felt like i was part of a family whilst I was there, so much so I am going back in 2011.... More

I stayed with Peace Matunda for 4 weeks this September (2010). The children here are the most adorable, lovable children I've ever met. Never have I known such happy children just so happy for attention and affection from volunteers - whether it's playing games or activities with the older kids or sitting around with the younger children giving them company...

I visited Peace Matunda this year and can honestly say it is by far the best thing to do in the area if you want to see what life is like outside of the city. The school is part of the ‘Peace Matunda Cultural Tourism Project’, which is non-profit, all funds going to the community school situated up Mt. Meru... More
