For decades, Kenya has attracted wildlife lovers, adventurous travelers and nature-loving artists, as it is a country full of unique landscapes and a great cultural heritage. Unfortunately, however, a large part of its population finds itself in situations of poverty and economic hardship that prevent their children from accessing quality education.
This need has led many organizations and communities to look for tools and possible solutions to this problem, which facilitate the daily lives of these vulnerable people. Adventure Volunteer is one of these associations, which supports vulnerable communities in Kenya through the volunteer program of reinforcement and school support for children and young people with limited resources. We believe that by serving the children in these communities, we can empower them to aim to improve the quality of life and fight against the social disadvantage they face on a daily basis.
As a volunteer in Kenya, you should be aware that we do not have enough staff to cope with the demand for work that we currently have. We hope that our volunteers will bring new ideas and teaching methodologies that will motivate our children and youth to continue learning and build a better future for them.
We work mainly with children between 3 and 8 years old in the mornings and children between 9 and 14 years old in the afternoons. Volunteers interested in providing sexual and emotional education will work with young children between the ages of 10 and 21. Classes are organized in the following subjects:
A volunteer's day starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m., although this may vary depending on the task to be performed by the volunteer.
A regular day in the life of a volunteer looks like:
One of the ways to get to know a country is to make a trip, but not just a trip, a different trip; where you can know, live and feel the true essence of that country and its people. You can do this through volunteering in Kenya: visiting and getting to know the very rich culture of the Maasai tribe, join local Safaris, or enjoy some of the bustling markets and delicious cuisine Nairobi has to offer.
Volunteers will be picked up at the airport between 8:30 am and 8:00 pm. If the volunteer arrives outside these hours, he/she will be picked up the following day.
The project is open all year round.
Volunteers can arrive on any day of their choice, although we recommend arriving on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays, as this allows volunteers to be more easily incorporated into the project.
