I encourage anyone who wants to embark on a mission trip to apply to YAAPHA. The Tanzania trip I went on last summer was even better than I expected ( and I had high expectations!) If you are thinking of joining the Tanzania trip I would say you need to like kids. This is an unbelievable experience to be role models to children and teach the English too

Amanda Philips

Auckland, New Zealand

I volunteered in Tanzania for 2 weeks in May 2016 through YAAPHA TANZANIA and loved it. Organizing my trip through YAAPHA was great, they were helpful, friendly and efficient and were flexible enough that I was able to change things once I was there.

When I first decided to begin my travels abroad, I dove right in and chose to go to Tanzania, Africa. Thanks to the endless support from the YAAPHA's staff ,  this trip was easily the most memorable period in my life.

Suzanne

Scotland

 

 I have been working at the moshi office for 3 weeks now and have been involved with various groups during this period.

The majority of groups are in need of funding to explore their ideas and establish projects. As a lot of the youth have nothing to do and no opportunities, I defiantly feel that a lot of the older youth would benefit from vocational training and financial support to achieve skills. Then they could seek employment and have choices in their lives.

Tripp  from United States

 

In January 2016, my wife and I started planning a year long trip around the world for our family of 7.  It was a journey of a lifetime for all of us, with stops at many Wonders of the World.  But now that we have returned home and reflected on our entire journey, the one highlight that everyone agreed upon was our time volunteering with YAAPHA.
