Volunteer in Kenya

Be a Kenya Volunteer in our Exciting, Effective, Life-Changing Humanitarian Program!

Astride the equator on Africa’s eastern coast lies Kenya, where colors are intense, landscapes are breathtaking, and needs are great. When you choose to volunteer in Kenya, you are beginning the adventure of a lifetime.

 

From the crystal beaches of the Indian Ocean to the majestic heights of Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya is a land of distinctions. Wildlife abounds, and eighteen national parks are home to innumerable species, including the nearly two million wildebeest who thunder across the Masai Mara Reserve each dry season.

 

Kenya’s real treasure, though, is her people. Fifty-two tribal groups share this magnificent land. Many groups have all but eluded the modern world, while others bring their cultural heritage with them into it. Global Crossroad has carefully designed a program to let you volunteer in Kenya, exploring the country while you serve its disadvantaged people through orphanage care, teaching or medical services.

 

Come home from vacation with more than a suntan and some photos. Come home with the satisfaction of having helped the people of Kenya. Send for information now to begin your journey.

Volunteer in Kenya Program: Accommodations/Meals/Field Support

 

Global’s volunteer in Kenya projects are available in Nairobi, Watamu (coastal region just north of Mombasa) and Massai land. All locations offer multicultural scenes that are friendly to travelers and host traditional experiences.

 

#Watamu (coastal region just north of Mombasa), lies on the Indian Ocean and is the country’s coastal tourism hub. The majority of the residents wear traditional clothing that is colorful. The city’s climate is warm and tropical. There are many beach day-trip options, a multitude of diverse restaurants and Watamu's northern shoreline is renowned for its vibrant 24-hour entertainment.

Nairobi is the capital and largest city in Kenya. The colorful combinations of culture and modern living are living examples of past meets future. There is a solid tourist infrastructure in place that supports day trips and city tour planning. Volunteers can spend free time in the National Museum or Nairobi National Park. The city is a hub for safari launches and there are many opportunities for different length excursions. There are also crocodile farms and nature trails to explore, along with the standard pulsing city options for travelers.

Massai land is close to Kenya’s best-known and finest wildlife reserve – the Maasai Mara. The land is located in the south west region of Kenya, about 90 minutes from Nairobi. The land covers an area around 1530 square km and is reserved for Maasai people, who live a pastoral and nomadic lifestyle.

Many Maasai, however, have settled down permanently and have build houses. There are also schools and hospital in the region but lacks adequate manpower and facilities to run them smoothly.
