What To Expect

Come and experience Tanzanian culture outside of your safari! Together, we will visit Mama Max, an incredible woman who has fought her way out of severe poverty, through business training and microfinance provided by a community nonprofit, The Small Things.

First you'll get a quick overview of our work empowering children, families, and communities at Happy Family Children's Village, although, for child protection, you should not expect direct contact with children. Next, we will walk or drive to Mama Max's house (depending on what you would prefer), while I tell you about how our business development program helps families like hers to keep children at home. When we arrive, we will share traditional chai tea and locally grown coffee. If you like, help cut vegetation for the animals, check the chicken's nests for eggs, and milk the cow. You'll come away with a deeper appreciation of the strength of women like Mama Max who have climbed out of poverty.

Meeting Point

From the Arusha-Moshi highway, you will turn up a paved road at Kilala - look for signs for Two
Mountain Lodge and Kahawa. Go to the end of the paved road, then turn right at Nkoaranga Hospital. Continue until you see a sign for Happy Family Children's Village and a paved driveway to your left.
If you have a non-4x4 vehicle, park where you see the sign for "The Small Things Pickup Point," about 100m from the hospital. If you have a 4x4, please come directly to the children's village. Please contact us for help arranging transport from Arusha or the airport.
