BACKGROUND
In Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, local entrepreneurs play a crucial role in driving economic growth, fostering community development, and enhancing social cohesion. Yet, they face several significant challenges that limit their potential. These include limited access to financing, gaps in business skills and education, infrastructure deficits, restricted market access, regulatory hurdles, and socio-cultural obstacles.
TUSONGE, a Tanzanian NGO, focuses on supporting marginalized groups within grassroots communities in the Kilimanjaro region. Through its Economic Empowerment program, TUSONGE aids small-scale local entrepreneurs. However, securing resources for ongoing support, monitoring, and evaluation remains a struggle, and ensuring long-term sustainability is challenging, especially as beneficiaries sometimes move to other organizations that provide direct financial assistance.

Testimonials
Some anonymous feedback we got from our previous volunteers
Volunteering with V2I was more than I ever even could've imagined. The reflections we worked on as a team and individually were very insightful and very eye opening to the many realities of different lives out there. The best part wasn't even working with a group of people that knew how to keep everyone engaged or the community that we were able to build in so little time, it was the interactions with the kids and the young adults that made everything worth it.

I had great experience in my volunteering time both in Rwanda and Romania. Volunteering is not just giving time for others, but soaking in a lot more learning from other volunteers and from the community I am volunteering. And I can see that in myself when I get back home and get back to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE VENTURE 2 IMPACT?
At the core of our model lies the belief that your unique skills and expertise should be leveraged to make a meaningful impact in communities that lack access to those skills or can’t afford to pay for them.
As a well-educated and skilled professional, we believe that it is more fulfilling to use your energy and volunteering time to share your skills and build resilient communities rather than the alternative, which is usually going abroad to do something that’s not related to your skills at all (building a structure, painting, etc).

Fluent English language skills
Basic, intermediate or fluent Swahili language skills (an asset but not an absolute must!)
Familiarity with Google Drive and/or Microsoft Office (also an asset but not an absolute must!)
