"I loved my time in HHF. I was able to contribute significantly to the NGO's activities, particularly in the Rise Me Well project. I was very welcomed and supported, even before my arrival. My experience here taught me so much about Tanzania and its people. I cannot recommend it enough"

"An amazing experience with an incredible group of people. I had the opportunity to be part of the community for two months and only beautiful words can come from my mouth. Nyasingo and all the staff are doing a really good job making sure to make a change in the neighborhood.
I worked with the women empowering program and no words to describe the amiability and the love that I received from day one. I put all my efforts on that project and wish them all the best as they deserve it all.
Asante sana"

"I had one of the best experience of my life, they have a wonderful team and the love we got from the kids and the women was simply amazing. The school is located in a very authentic city and we felt really welcomed since day one.
I had the opportunity to take part of some local NGOs' meetings explaining the job we are doing at the school, being part of the staff and it really make us feel really identified with the NGO and its goal.
Asante sana, Karibu!"
