    Great food and lovely woman
    Laura_K, Feb 2024
    Its more like "cooking together" than like a real cooking class but it was a nice afternoon with those lovely women and we really like the food. Don't bei afraid to take the walk to Lifted Strong, it's just a little bit far from main street, but no worries!
    Excellent experience!

    We took a school group of girls to the cooking class to learn how to make samosas. From start to finish the experience was amazing. The ladies were incredibly welcoming and were very encouraging to our kids. Everything was extremely well organised and there was plenty of freedom for the students to get as involved as they wanted with the process. Beyond the cooking class, Lifted Strong is an incredibly inspiring and wonderful organisation that is having a true impact on the local community. Hearing about all the ways in which they engage in outreach left our girls feeling motivated to make their own impact and to continue their support of the organisation well after the class ended. We are extremely grateful to Lifted Strong for this great experience and I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
    Wonderful cooking class

    After doing some researches, I found this Tanzanian Cooking Class. The booking with viator was very easy and worked perfectly. One day before my class, I got contacted from lifted strong and I could wish the topic of the cooking class. Two very kind girls, with whom I was going to cook, picked me up at the meeting point. I got introduced to the "lifted strong family" and the local kitchen. Then we prepared Sambusa (three different types!) and a soup. It was so interesting and a lot of fun, cooking outside in trational way. and of course the tasting in the end was delicious. I was further allowed to take some leftovers with me. So I had a great afternoon at lifted strong and I am going to cook Sambusa at home agian :-)
