The impact of volunteering is boundless it is a chance to contribute and change somebody’s life forever in some way an opportunity to make the change you wish to see and help people move out of poverty.

Why Volunteer?

We always hope that volunteers who join our projects will leave with a feeling that they have not only contributed to something long-term and worthwhile, but they have learnt about Kenya and taken away life long memories from this beautiful place.

Many of the communities we work with are living below the poverty line and don’t have access to proper education facilities, medical treatment or even clean drinking water, so there’s a lot of work to be done. The children are lively and energetic,they love sport, music, singing and dancing and others eager to improve their English.make They are extremely friendly and welcoming and they will quickly find a special place in your heart. Whatever your own interests or area of expertise, you will surely find a child who wants to learn about them from you.

Your role will be to motivate, inspire and improve the general knowledge of children as well as traditional teaching. Your presence will give them an insight into the outside world. No specific qualifications are required, but you must know the subjects you are going to teach or bring some resources with you. (English, maths, sports, physics...). In Kenya, lessons are always in English.   Sample daily task will involve:
