Tribewanted: Vorovoro

Our mission is to build sustainable communities in amazing places that benefit locals and visiting members; inspiring positive change within and far beyond the village.

Our current community is in its second season in Sierra Leone.

In October 2011 the management of Tribewanted Vorovoro was handed back to the local community. After 5 years of building a new community on Vorovoro we are happy to see Tui Mali, the Mataqali (landowners) and the wider community of Mali take more ownership of the project. We expect the community will be re-open in 2012 and will post details here.

Community Structure & Experience

A maximum of 30 tribe members spend a minimum of 1 week at a time living alongside a local team and community immersed in the day to day running and development of the village.

For our members it’s about playing a part – however small – in something positive, adventurous, and in some cases, life-changing.

When you take part in Tribewanted you’re not sacrificing your hard earnt time-out for an intense volunteer programme nor are you replacing a much-needed beach holiday.

You’re relaxing, learning, connecting, playing. You’re joining a community. A real one.

It’s not a weird cult. Its cross-cultural living. In just a week or two it can change the way you think about a lot of things. And even if it doesn’t, you’ll have the time of your life. Just ask those who have already done it.

For our local communities Tribewanted is about kick-starting the kind of sustainable development they’re looking for but cannot achieve on their own. It’s a partnership. And in the long-term it’s their project to lead.

Between our local communities, teams, partners and members we co-fund, create, and build our communities.
