Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to come to Kenya?
You will need a passport and, depending on your country, a visa. About a week before your flight to Kenya, you are also required to apply for an eTA (e-travel authorization), which costs about 30USD. You will also need health insurance, as private hospitals are expensive.
How does a volunteers’ day look like?
You will be engaged in volunteering activities for 20-25 hours per week, mostly Monday to Friday or Saturday. There is no typical day, and we welcome creativity and new ideas. When you are not volunteering, you are free to travel, explore, or do whatever you want. If you like it with us, you can also extend your volunteering time, as long as there is space in our accommodation!
Do I need vaccines?
Depending on your country of origin, you might need compulsory vaccines or not. You should consult with your doctor about vaccination, timely before coming to Kenya. In general, recommended vaccines include hepatitis A, tetanus, typhoid, and yellow fever.
What are the requirements to participate?
The only requirements are to be at least 18 years old and to know English at a conversational level, since it is the language you will use every day. We are happy if you bring enthusiasm, ideas, and the will to do good.
How will you help me before i come to Kenya?
You will be in contact with us through WhatsApp or email. We will help you with travel arrangements, documents, and vaccines, and set expectations, giving you information about your experience in Kenya, in a meeting before your arrival.
