Volunteer and Teach in Kenya

Support education in remote Maasai communities where schools often face overcrowded classrooms and limited teaching staff. Volunteers assist local teachers with lessons in English, maths, science and general subjects, helping manage classes that can range from 50 to 75 students. You may lead small group activities, work one-on-one with students who need extra help, or even guide full lessons when needed. Your involvement helps provide individual attention, strengthen learning outcomes and support teachers who are stretched thin. This program is ideal for volunteers who enjoy teaching, cultural immersion and working in rural environments. No formal teaching qualifications are required — enthusiasm, adaptability and a willingness to learn are the most important qualities. Expect simple living conditions and a strong sense of community. Programs start on the 1st and 15th of each month and offer flexible durations. During free time you can connect with Maasai families, learn cultural traditions and explore the striking landscapes of the region while contributing to meaningful and impactful education

Special needs in Kenya

August 10, 2018by: Kim Clifton - United States

Program: Volunteer and Teach in Kenya

I had a wonderful experience in Kenya with IVHQ. I was there for four weeks and volunteered with the special needs program. While it's not required on the website or through IVHQ to have experience, I highly suggest only doing the special needs program if you do as there isn't specific training for working with kids with special needs during orientation and some of the placements are very challenging. The classroom I taught in had 43 students with moderate to intensive special needs and only two teachers! I am a special education teacher, so while I was definitely overwhelmed the first day, I was able to jump in and adapt quickly. Others who were in the special needs program without any prior experience were very overwhelmed and ended up switching placements. There isn't any training as it relates to teaching during orientation. Overall my time with IVHQ was incredible! My placement was AMAZING and the kids absolutely stole my heart! I still keep in touch with the teacher at the school as well as others I met in Kenya. The staff on site in Kenya were so kind, personable and easy to reach for any sort of help. I would definitely travel with IVHQ again.
