If you're looking for a way to really get involved and make a difference in our children's lives, donating your time and volunteering is the best and most effective way of doing so.
As a small non-profit, we are always looking for people who can offer their time and skills, helping us to help us grow as an organization. Our volunteers have played a crucial roll in getting hundreds of street children off the street and into school, in assisting our orphan students and womens groups, educating community members on health and agriculture and more.
Whether you want to be completely immersed in our work and volunteer in Kenya, or would prefer giving up a few hours of your time a week and working from home, there are many ways that you can help us. For more information on volunteering in Kenya, please visit Village Volunteers' website.
Volunteers are always needed and no specific skills or experience is necessary. Volunteer coordinators will work with you to develop a plan for your time in Kenya. You can choose from a variety of activities ranging from teaching at the primary school, to working with womens' groups to implement microfinance schemes, to providing community health or agriculture trainings, and much more. We are always open to receiving volunteers and you may come at any time during the year.
