KIHO Volunteers
Ever since 2010 when KIHO was founded, the organization had the pleasure to collaborate with volunteers from different countries. On this page we want to introduce some of them to you.
Eveline SMIT (The Netherlands)
Eveline from the Netherlands has come as a Wwoofer to Kilimanjaro region in June 2011. She spent some four weeks here and got to know how life works in Tanzania. Ever since, she has been in touch and provided support to several projects, including to school children and beekeeping projects. Eveline is enthusiastic to see Tanzanians move forward and continues to share more about KIHO in her community.

Johannes LANGER (Austria)
Johannes was an EU Aid Volunteer from Austria who stayed with KIHO for six months until May 2013. He has an MA in International Peace and Conflict Resolution from American University in Washington DC as well as Master degrees in political science and history from Vienna University, Austria. He is passionate about East Africa and was already a volunteer in the summer of 2011 with “Sisi ni Amani” in Nairobi for three months. Johannes enjoyed his time in Tanzania because of KIHO’s special approach to local communities: listen to the people, try to assist their needs and provide training. It was indeed a time of learning for him as KIHO made sure that he got a lot of exposure to visit the target villages, conducted need assessments, wrote grant proposals, updated the website and social media but also travelled and explored this amazing country.

Núria MORENO MARTÍN (Spain)
Núria was an EU Aid Volunteer from Spain who stayed with KIHO for four months until May 2013. Her academic background is master’s degree in International Cooperation and Local Development as well as a degree in Environmental Science from Valencia University, Spain.

This approach of involving people is practiced by KIHO so that the local communities are the main actors of development and change themselves.
