Description

This is one school with children who are highly underprivileged. The children survive on periodic donations, ranging from essential commodities like water and food to education and clothes.

A volunteer can do loads of things to better the situation. Teaching the children would help a lot. One needs not to be skilled teacher to take on this placement, as subjects taught in the school are quite basic.

Agape would also be perfect for those wishing to give institutions like this a face lift by painting its classes, building some more and initiating income generating activities like irrigation. A couple of more bigger tanks that sell locally at about Ksh.30,000 (500 USD) can for instance irrigate the schools vegetables adequately hence saving them on food costs.

Agape has no electricity yet an electric line passes by its fence and it would cost 500 USD draw the power and light the classrooms, which badly need painting.Volunteers are expected to take part in all duties to help staff in this location. Tasks included washing by hand, sweeping and helping cooking and other jobs that form an essential part of the running of these placements. Potential volunteers must understand this prior to booking.

Highlights

This placement is suitable for people from all walks and strips of life  with an interest in fellow human beings' plights and sufferings. A month or two here could change lives. Including perhaps your own! This is a real-deal place that needs help NOW. The home is struggling with money and is in much debt. Often the staff go without pay and the rising costs of rice have really hurt this set up. Volunteering here really is helping those that need it most.

Qualifications

This program would best suit any one with a humane heart. Someone willing to reach out and inspire hope where there might be none. People with a niche to leave the world a better place that he/she found it.
