What You Need to Know: Every September since 2024, Jaynevy Tours has hosted a charity event with the Godson Charity in Moshi, which supports 100 orphaned and vulnerable children. We also help some children stay in school, and give sports equipment to local football groups.
How Do We Support the Godson Charity in Moshi?
The Godson Charity cares for orphaned and vulnerable children in and around Moshi. Together we support 100 children, and each September since 2024 we have hosted a charity event with the Godson Charity for them.
- An annual charity event every September, since 2024
- Support for 100 children through the charity
- Visits by our team during the year, bringing basic items
Each September since 2024, our team has hosted a charity event with the Godson Charity for the 100 children it supports. For our guides, porters and office staff, it is one of the most important days of the year: a chance to spend time with the children, help with practical needs and show that tourism can benefit the wider community, not just those who work in it.
Everything we do is small and personal. We don't run a foundation or ask guests for donations; we simply set aside part of what we earn and give our time. If you would like to help, ask us what is needed: often it is school supplies, sports equipment or practical items for the children.
Why Giving Back Matters to Us
Our founder, Julius Nyange, guided for six years before starting Jaynevy Tours in 2023, and most of our crews grew up in the villages on Kilimanjaro's slopes. Tourism brings visitors to Moshi every day, but many families around the town still struggle with school fees and basic needs. Supporting children and young people in the same communities our guides and porters come from is the simplest way we know to share what tourism earns.
Our Year in the Moshi Community
Our community work follows the calendar. What we do, and when:
| When | What we do |
|---|---|
| Through the year | Team visits to the Godson Charity, help with basic items and small needs |
| Each school term | School fees, uniforms and learning materials for the children we support |
| September | Our annual charity event with the Godson Charity, every year since 2024 |
| When we can | Footballs and sports kit for local youth football groups |
School Fees and Supplies for Children in Moshi
We help some children continue their education, with school fees, uniforms and learning materials; among them, we support two children through school directly.
Football Kit for Youth Teams in Moshi
We give footballs and basic sports equipment to small local football groups in Moshi. Many of the young players come from the same communities as our crews.
Fair Pay and Loads for Our Kilimanjaro Porters
As KPAP partners since 2023, we follow the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project's guidelines on fair pay, food, equipment and loads for porters: no porter carries more than 18 kg. See about us.
Many of our guides started as porters, and supporting them, from equipment to training, is part of building a team that stays with us. See our tipping guide.
Responsible Travel on Every Jaynevy Tours Trip
Giving back is also about how we run every trip:
- Kilimanjaro porters carry at most 18 kg, following KPAP guidelines on pay, food and equipment
- Local guides lead our village walks, coffee tours and Maasai visits, and community fees go to the villages
- We use local family-run farms and businesses for day trips around Moshi
- We ask guests to dress modestly in villages and to ask before taking photographs
Many of our day trips around Moshi are run with local families and guides: the coffee farms of Materuni, the guides of Marangu and the Chagga villages on the mountain. Booking these trips sends money straight to the communities around Kilimanjaro, and introduces you to people you would not meet on a standard tour.
How Can Guests Help the Community in Moshi?
Join the September charity event if you are in Moshi, ask us what supplies are needed, tip your crew fairly and book local day trips.

Our Commitment to Moshi
We are a young, small company, and our community work grows as we grow. Our aim is simple: that every trip with Jaynevy Tours leaves something good behind in Moshi, through fair pay for our crews, business for local families and support for the children of the Godson Charity.
