Volunteer

Thinking about Volunteering Abroad? Here’s what you should consider.

1. Is traveling and working abroad right for me.
2. What length of time am I able to commit volunteering abroad.
3. Is volunteering abroad financially feasible. Is sponsoring a project or a student more realistic for me.
4. What type of NGO am I interested in giving my time to.
5. Are there particular projects I would to bring to Kenya.
6. What type of accommodations do I expect. Home-stay or hotel.
7. Am I aware of the culture-shock I may experience and the reverse culture-shock.

Things that are beneficial for a volunteer candidate.

As much as we love interest from international volunteers, we must make sure that the volunteers who come to live and work with us are a good fit for our Kenyan Partners in order to maintain safe and healthy environments and relationships.

What we look for:

Volunteering in groups between 3-8 people helps us keep our costs low and quality high.

Of course larger and smaller groups can be accommodated, however, other measures may be needed in order to keep large groups together, such as using local hotels.

Volunteer Stays that range between 1-3 months are preferable.

Volunteers are encourage to take time to travel during this time to see all of the wonderful things Kenya has to offer. In-country Coordinators may also be hired as a guides for trips or to connect volunteers to reputable tour organizations.
