Volunteer Forum

Volunteer in a Nursery Programme.

We are a non profit organization helping economically challenged children in western Kenya, to help them realize their right to an education.

We are working with a team of overseas and local volunteers.
We have a holistic approach to supporting the wangusu community and offer assistance in education and economic development primarily, but we have also recently started a nursery programme.
We aim to run educational workshops with parents, and are keen to find volunteers who have a background in education for young children.
Any background in child psychology or social work would also be invaluable, as we want to talk to the parents about child development and improve their understanding of what young children need.
These children are young, so it is possible for volunteers to come who have a more limited English/Kiswahili ability as they will still be able to play with children and contribute to the lesson planning.
However, for the training sessions we will need someone who is a relatively a fluent English speaker, previous experience in working with children in developing and developed countries as they would be an asset, so that they are able to put across the relevant information and also answer questions that the parents or guardians have.

Economic Development Work.
This programme is aimed at empowering women and youth/groups in viable economic activities to improve on their livelihood and more so tap their potential with talents and creativity, to enable them be self reliant.
We bring in talented and experienced volunteers from overseas and locally, we are always on the lookout for enthusiastic and innovative thinkers to help us with the economic development programme.
The more time you are able to commit, the more you will gain from the volunteering experience.
Further, the more overseas volunteers are able to prepare for Kiswahili prior to arrival, the better, as this will mean you are able to communicate with the families and gain a better understanding of their situation and how they benefit from our programme.
Volunteers involved in the economic development section will get to know all aspects of the programme, namely the micro credit project, the business and productive workshops as well as marketing and distribution of products and services.
The volunteers will be appointed to the projects that suit their skills and interests in which their help is needed most.
