Volunteer with Children in Kenya

We offer volunteer placements in orphanages in both Nairobi and the rural areas. Work in an orphanage ranges from cooking, cleaning, taking care of babies to office work. The volunteers that work in orphanages are asked to help with work wherever they can because help is usually needed in more than one area. Some volunteers like to live inside the orphanage so that they can help with night work.

Orphanages in Kenya host 50 to 150 kids at any one time. There is a boys’ dormitory as well as girls’, a kitchen, an office, a garden, the toilets, laundry area and sometimes a baby nursery. Some volunteers like to be assigned to one particular area while others like to get a taste of everything. Some orphanages have schools (kindergartens) inside; volunteers that are placed in such orphanages may want to help with school as well. The volunteers in such schools take roles as teachers (basic math’s, English) they are also take part in Physical education and sports. They are encouraged to also introduce new games.

Volunteer with Children in Uganda

Uganda has an extremely high number of children living in poverty and many of these vulnerable children have lost one or both of their parents as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Volunteers in the Childcare project in Uganda are placed in day-care centres, nursery schools and kindergartens to assist local staff in the day to day running of these centres. All these centres are extremely under-resourced, and volunteers play a key role in ensuring they operate effectively. Volunteer activities vary across the different centres, however typical tasks include, educational activities and basic teaching of English, Math, Health/Hygiene, Reading and Writing. Other activities include play therapy and games, dancing, singing, arts and crafts, as well as assisting with feeding and daily chores.
