    Over het programma


    Eco-Green School: A Beacon of Hope in Mbogolo village

    Eco-Green School is located in the heart of Mbogolo village, Malindi Constituency and currently serves 260 children aged between 6 and 17 years. These children come from a community that has long been deprived of access to education. They represent the first generation in their area to fully embrace learning — a powerful step forward in a region where education is viewed as a vital source of hope and the key to lasting change.

    The surrounding community is semi-illiterate, with most residents engaged in subsistence farming, casual labor, and motorbike taxi services as their primary means of livelihood.

    School Location and Transport

    The school is situated in a village approximately 10 kilometers from the city center, where the volunteer house is located. Volunteers commute to and from the school Monday through Friday. Transport options include:

    • Motorbike taxis: Approx. €1.50 per day

    • Bicycles

    • Walking: Approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

    • Running: Approx. 1 hour

    School Schedule and Activities

    The school operates Monday to Friday, following a structured timetable for lessons and other enriching activities. Beyond classroom teaching, the school offers a lively and engaging environment that nurtures both academic and personal development.

    Core Activities Include:

    • Teaching English, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Hygiene & Nutrition, Music, and Sports

    • Participating in community-based initiatives

    • Youth mentorship programs

    • Cultural interaction and integration

    • Joining local events and trying traditional brews

    • Sharing personal skills and talents

    • Introducing creative, new activities

    Volunteer Accommodation

    Volunteers reside in a shared house located within the city, just a 10-minute walk from the beach and close to all major social amenities. The house is situated in a safe, residential neighborhood, offering a warm and homely atmosphere.

    Accommodation Features:

    • Three shared bedrooms (separated by gender) with beds, bedding, mosquito nets, and basic storage

    • A spacious living room with sofas, a dining table, and a TV

    • A modern, fully equipped kitchen — often the heart of the home where food and culture come together

    • Reliable electricity and running water (with occasional short outages)

    • Backup water supply for rare instances of water shortages (which may last up to two days)

    A Home Away from Home

    The volunteer house is more than just a place to stay — it’s where friendships are formed, cultures are exchanged, and lifelong memories are created. Volunteers from all over the world come together to live, work, and grow as a family by design.

One of the highlights of the school’s extracurricular calendar is competitive sports. These are organized at the regional and national levels by the government, with schools from across the area participating in friendly but spirited competitions in selected sports.

    Meals at School

    Volunteers are provided with break and lunch meals at school.  These shared meals are not just nourishing; they’re also a moment of connection and community among the school staff and volunteers.  This is where culture is integrated through interesting stories that navigate through history, modernity and socialization.


    After Class sports

    At the end of the  day, the school staff enjoy volley ball and other sports together with the young learners, where they compete in different teams, and engage in light banter and laughter.  This moment is cherished especially by the learners and it is one of the best way to wind up the day enjoying the calmness of the village and sports.
