TUFA is a registered NGO in Tanzania. While we cannot issue international tax receipts, local donors may be eligible for tax deductions under Tanzanian law. We will happily provide an official receipt upon request for your records.
Once we verify your transaction (usually within 24-48 hours), we will send you an official thank-you receipt by email. The receipt includes the amount, date, and payment method.
Yes, completely safe. We only use the information to match and confirm your generous gift. Your personal data is handled with care and never shared with third parties.
At the moment, we primarily receive one-time donations via mobile money and bank transfer. If you would like to support us regularly, please let us know in your message, we are happy to discuss a convenient recurring arrangement.
We accept M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, Bank Transfer (NBC), and PayPal. After donating, simply fill the short form on this page so we can easily record and acknowledge your gift.

No problem! Simply reply to the confirmation email or contact us at info@tufa.or.tz and we will correct it quickly.
We are flexible! Most volunteers stay between 2 weeks to 6 months. Internships are often 2 -3 months, but longer or shorter commitments are welcome depending on your availability and the project needs. The minimum we recommend is 2 weeks so you can truly settle in and make an impact.
Yes. We assist in-person volunteers with safe and comfortable accommodation near our office in Mafinga. Details (including any contribution toward housing/meals) will be discussed during your introductory call.
TUFA is a small grassroots organization. There is no program fee. However, in-person volunteers are responsible for their travel to Tanzania, visa, insurance, and daily living expenses (meals, local transport, etc.). We will guide you on affordable options.
You’ll get orientation upon arrival (or via video call for remote volunteers), regular check-ins with a mentor, and ongoing support from the TUFA team. Remote volunteers receive clear tasks and feedback through digital tools.
We value heart and commitment more than a perfect CV. Relevant skills or studies in education, health, agriculture, marketing, IT, or grant writing are a big plus, but passion and willingness to learn are most important.
Absolutely! Our Global Bridge program welcomes remote volunteers from all over the world. You can contribute in areas like digital marketing, research, grant writing, content creation, and more.
