    Overview
    It’s uncommon for local children in Kenya, particularly those living in rural areas, to have the opportunity to meet and interact with foreigners. They seldom have a chance to use English outside of school, despite it being one of Kenya’s official languages. By engaging with them and speaking English correctly, you can assist in their learning and improve their language confidence.

    You’ll be assigned to a local school in the community based on community needs, availability, and your preferences, if possible. You may be responsible for parts of the lesson planning for the class you’re assisting the teacher with, and you may be able to be creative in an informal way. Sports, games, gardening, and singing are the most popular activities for younger students.

    The goal is to assist local students and staff with English and other subjects through exercises that foster creativity and practice. You’re encouraged to suggest new ideas that promote cultural exchange and conversation among you, other participants, staff, and students. If you have items or photos from home that can help you share unique facts or traditions, the children will love this! It also gets them exposed to other cultures, creating a greater understanding of the world.

    Please note that during long holiday periods when schools are on break, a “day-camp” style English and Sports program may be put in place for local children and it will be run by participants with the help of our coordinators.

    Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). You must arrive between 08:00 to 13.00 on Saturday or Sunday. If arriving during the pickup times on the Saturday, we charge an additional fee for the extra night’s accommodation.

    If arriving outside the pickup times, we charge an additional fee for any extra night’s accommodation, and for a private transfer.

    From the airport to the accommodation, it takes 3.5 hours by car.

There is an available water supply. You will have meals provided and rooms cleaned on the weekends, but you will also be expected to clean up after yourself and play your part in keeping the accommodation neat and organised.
