    Description

    Volunteering in Kenya

    Volunteer with Paul Wanjigi Alpine High School in Naivasha, Kenya! We invite you to come, learn, and give back. Quality education meets support to vulnerable children: We equip the students with the tools they need to thrive and succeed in life.

    In Kenya, the challenges facing vulnerable children are numerous, with limited job opportunities and high skill set requirements for graduates.

    By volunteering at P.W.A., you have the opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of our students. Your support can provide them with the resources and mentorship they need to succeed.

    You will be accommodated in a beautiful two-story house just 10 minutes walking distance from the school. You will share the house with other volunteers and interns. There is a kitchen, two bathrooms, a living room, two shared bedrooms, and an upstairs chill-out area with lake view.

    The rooms in the house might need a fresh coat of paint every now and then, the garden can be cultivated, and the outside areas can be designed and shaped. Feel free to use your skills and ideas to help us to make this a comfortable and attractive environment for many volunteers to come.

    N/B; The volunteering fee is $150/per week.
