Volunteer in Kenya

As a volunteer in Kenya you can play a huge role in educating the new generation of Kenyans, caring for those lost and alone through poverty and disease or helping to restore the country's natural resources.

Kenya is a beautiful country with an incredible natural environment and is home to more than 70 tribal groups. The majesty of Mt. Kilimanjaro, white sand beaches of Mombasa, and one of the best places in the world to go on a safari, Kenya’s attractions are numerous.

Kenya has incredibly rich tribal heritage, and language is an important distinguishing feature. Lack of formal education in Kenya due to the disparity between the traditional nomadic lifestyle of many Kenyans and formal western education has left many caught between two worlds.
