The Kindness of Kenya

While Kenya boasts beautiful landscapes, it has a complicated past and a natural psyche. This coastal region is awash with luxurious beaches, wild animals, national parks, and lake fishing. You’ll find yourself in the county of Kisumu, right next to Lake Victoria, in the small town of Muhoroni where you’ll experience the kindness of the Kenyans.

Kenya is stepping into the future. You can help with this process by volunteering in one of the many projects available in the town of Muhoroni, which lies 30 kilometers to the east of Kisumu city. It is mostly inhabited by the Luo tribe with a population of around 120,000 people almost entirely depending on subsistence farming (though there are three sugar factories). The people of Muhoroni are always warm and welcoming, and the smiles on their faces tell it all. Muhoroni has warm weather of about 25 Celsius all year round.

As a volunteer, you will have the excitement to gain an even deeper understanding and appreciation of a foreign land and culture through humanitarian service, language and intercultural training, and exploration.
