For decades Kenya has attracted wildlife lovers, adventurous travelers, and artists who love nature, as it is a country full of unique landscapes and a great cultural heritage. But unfortunately, much of its population is in situations of poverty and economic hardship that prevents their children from accessing quality education.
This need has generated that many organizations and communities look for tools and possible solutions to this problem, that will facilitate daily life to these vulnerable people. Adventure Volunteer, is one of these associations, which supports vulnerable communities in Kenya through the volunteer program reinforcement and school support for children and young people of limited resources. We believe that through serving the children from these communities, we are able to empower them to aim to improve the quality of life and to fight the social disadvantage they face on a daily basis.
As a volunteer in Kenya, you should keep in mind 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 young people to continue learning and build a better future for themselves.
We work mainly with children aged between 3 and 8 years in the mornings, and children between 9 and 14 years in the afternoons. Volunteers interested in providing sexual and emotional education will collaborate with young children between the ages of 10 and 21. Classes are organized in the following subjects:
+English, Mathematics, Computer Science and Sports
+Art, dance and music activities
+Health and hygiene talks
+Cooking classes, Painting, Gardening
+Storytelling and theatre spaces
+Collaborate in the tasks of cleaning and maintenance of the center.
+Assist the staff of the centres.
+All of the above shall be complemented with leisure and free time activities that seek to promote socio-educational integration, tolerance and solidarity in the children who live in these communities.
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.
The project is open all year round.
