Inspiration

Classrooms all over Kenya are short on teachers and would welcome any volunteers wanting to help in giving classes or assisting in them. Secondary education in Kenya is not free and is grade dependant, so the results of primary school pupils are essential if they can progress. There is always much to do in a school. These kids are waiting for you!

Medical clinics provide a great opportunity to nurse locals with day to day symptoms. Ideal experience for anyone who works in a nursing/medical environment. Dealing with and assisting the sick in a developing country like Kenya is incredibly rewarding, whatever you are able to contribute.

Working in children's home and orphanages can be a real eye opener. Kenya has thousands of orphans in every city. Helping out in the homes and spending time with the children benefits them enormously. The children here only expect the basics. Food , a bed and some company. Working in these places is challenging but would also leave you with unforgettable memories.

Kenya has thousands of square miles of game reserves. The upkeep of such a large area for both land and animals puts a strain on government resources. Volunteers working here cover all sorts of tasks. From nursing sick animals to repairing fencing and boundaries.
