Why choose us
UCESCO has a 100% safety record in Kenya and we mean to keep it. Our programs in
Kenya is safe to experience.
General ly, Kenyans are friendly people by nature, especially towards volunteers who are helping
their community. We advise that no volunteer should be out after dark and that volunteers should stay
indoors after 9 pm. Exceptions are made when volunteers are with UCESCO local volunteer or project
staff. This is merely a precaution, but one that we expect all volunteers to keep. People may stop to say hello and it is polite to respond; however, they will understand if
you are busy and cannot chat for long. Never accept an invitation to visit a stranger’s. We also recommend that you arrange medical, dental, and eye check-ups before you depart, to identify
any issues that might affect your time in Kenya.

Social Impact
As a charity focused on community, we are keen to work with local administrations, organized community groups, individuals, and schools to demonstrate to the communities we work with that there are opportunities in the wider world that are attainable. These partnerships, UCESCO believes, gives these marginalized communities we are serving hope and motivation to see beyond the walls of the situation that they live in.
In the areas we focus our efforts, most women and many youths are living in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.00 per day. They cannot afford education for their children, clean water is scarce, and diseases caused by poor hygiene are prevalent. A great number of women and youths living in these areas lack access to basic services including electricity, running water, and medical care.
