Volunteer Programme
Our Volunteer programs are a great opportunity for you to travel to Kenya and experience true Kenyan culture, while also greatly improving the lives of children who desperately need your help. These three week volunteer programs usually comprise of 10-15 volunteers or individuals who want to come at their own convinient time from a variety of nations and backgrounds.
Anyone can be a volunteer - teachers, sports activists, Fundraisers, engineers, photographers, web designers, doctors, students, carpenters, travelers, mothers, fathers, etc. We welcome anyone who is motivated.
.
At our volunteer programs, volunteers normally engage in a variety of activities including (but not limited to) farming, community work, class teaching, sports playing, feeding/cooking the young children, garden preparation, construction work, caring for the cows etc. All work that you do helps our school to continue to be functioning as best as possible in order to help the children. Volunteers work for about 5-6 hours a day during the week, and on the weekends volunteers can take part in excursions in order to learn more about the local area.
​
Volunteers live in a home stay program while here, closely linked with the school. Volunteers are given a chance to experience a very authentic African lifestyle in all aspects. It is a great chance for you to be a part of a different culture and to learn about how others live their lives.
