Volunteer Work Kenya

Volunteer opportunities in Kenya range from construction and conservation work to working in schools and orphanages, city slum outreach and teaching sustainable farming techniques. There are also many volunteer openings in health care, HIV prevention and the rolling out of anti-viral programs. Volunteer work is big business in Kenya and you have to work hard to get past the big international projects to drill down to the smaller, Kenya based and run volunteer work programs that make a real difference to the lives of Kenyans in need rather than exist to line the pockets of the volunteer recruitment businesses!

If you are in Kenya undertaking volunteer work, ensure you leave time for a bit of tourist activity while you are there not least because you can find the "Big Five" animals of Africa in Kenya but can also witness one of the natural wonders of the world ~ the annual great wildebeest migration of some two million animals as they cross the Serengeti in neighbouring Tanzania to the Massai Mara. Also visit Mount Kenya and chill out on the warm and tropical climate beaches on its Indian Ocean coastline. If you run or know of a volunteer work project in Kenya let us know by contacting us here. We look forward to hearing from you!
