Due to the high incidences of poverty and illness, childcare centers in Kenya can host 50 to 300 children at any one time and there is always high demand for volunteer assistance.

I gained more insight
April 28, 2025by: Billie DeveyProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in KenyaI gained more insight into the lives of others and strengthened my appreciation on the simple things I have in life. Just do it, don’t be afraid, be brave. You will meet new people and gain new friendships.
Seeing how valued education was by these children
April 28, 2025by: Carter McGowanProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in KenyaShowing up to school each morning and being greeted by 32 smiling fifth graders were my favorite moments from the volunteer experience in Kenya! The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was seeing how valued education was by these children compared to schools where I'm from. Their level of passion and enthusiasm is unmatched. I admit I was hesitant for my 8 week program, however, this soon changed on my very first day being surrounded by the kindergarteners!
I have gained a new sense of myself
April 25, 2025by: Stephanie ZolotcovProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in KenyaI feel as though I have gained a new sense of myself and I have learned so much more of what I am capable of doing. When I initially had the idea I was very hesitant and scared but I am so happy that I did it, it was the best experience of my life and I would totally recommend for people to step out of their comfort zones and go on this journey to make a difference.
