Volunteering in Nairobi
Along with a regional UN headquarters, there are a large number of international NGOs and nonprofits with a foothold in Nairobi. These organizations work closely with local community members to develop projects and programs that have the ability to make lasting change in a variety of social spheres.
Education is one of the most popular type of volunteering in Nairobi. Teaching English, science, math, or other life skills to underserved locals in Nairobi is a great way to provide them with life-changing knowledge and open their minds to future opportunities. Education volunteer placements in Nairobi are available at any educational level, from teaching young elementary school children to providing language lessons for adults.
Healthcare is another common volunteer placement in Nairobi for international volunteers. Future medical and public health professionals can gain valuable experience by helping to serve impoverished communities which would otherwise lack access to such resources. HIV education, general medical care, and raising community awareness are all examples of tasks you can engage in during a healthcare volunteering in Nairobi.
Volunteers who are interested in environmental volunteering will find plenty of placement opportunities in Nairobi as well. Nicknamed the “Safari Capital of the World,” Nairobi is the only capital city to actually be bordered by a major wildlife reserve (Nairobi National Park). Many local organizations are focused on sustainability and wildlife preservation in order to maintain a considerable “environmentally-friendly nature” to the city.
