volunteer in Kenya Do you want a volunteer program that is focus on the people? Have you been considering Kenya as a place to volunteer?

Kenya is a beautiful diverse country where one day you are hiking in the mountains and the next day you are relaxing on the beaches.

The warm and friendly people welcome you into their homes and are eager to help you teach you their culture and traditions.

Unfortunately, the people of Kenya are drowning in poverty causing many neighborhoods to become slums. The government is focused on their people and trying desperately to help the people rise above the poverty level.

Our volunteer programs in Kenya work closely with organizations to offer support to these poverty-stricken communities. Volunteers will help with grassroot projects that will benefit many needy communities.
