Kumbatia is a free, nonprofit daycare in the Mshomoroni slum. We are located just north of Mombasa, on the beautiful coast of Kenya. Our goal is to take in children who would otherwise be on the streets and provide them with food, education, and love. In doing this, we empower local women by enabling them to work without the fear that their children are gone when they return home. 

As a volunteer, you can choose to work in the daycare or at local schools. Tasks at the daycare include helping care for the children by playing, doing crafts, dancing, reading, and teaching them basic English. Tasks at the schools include working with older kids and helping with their schoolwork as well as assisting the teachers in delivering English lessons. 

You will also have the option to participate in our outreach program to help ensure that families in the slum area are taken care of. We have empowerment groups as well that work with local women to educate and empower them through support groups, and classes on things such as hygiene and safety. 

You have free weekends to explore the beauty of Kenya or hang out and get to know the locals and experience their culture.
