Teaching Project in Kenya

Ready for an unforgettable experience in rural Kenya? Help local teachers and students by sharing your English skills while soaking in a new culture. This program gives you the chance to connect with students, learn together, and broaden your perspectives.

In rural Kenya, kids rarely get the chance to interact with foreigners, even though English is one of the country’s official languages. By engaging with them and speaking English fluently, you’ll help boost their confidence and language skills in a way they don’t usually get outside of the classroom.

As a participant, you’ll be assigned to a community school where you’ll assist teachers with lessons, sometimes even planning fun and creative activities yourself. You might lead lessons, play sports, organize games, or teach through gardening and singing with younger students. It’s all about using your creativity and skills to enhance learning while promoting cultural exchange.

Your main goal is to support the local students and teachers in improving their English and other subjects through practice and creative activities. Bring some items or photos from home to share stories about your culture, and spark conversations that connect you with the kids and staff on a personal level.

No need to worry if you don’t have special qualifications. Whether you’re helping with English pronunciation, assisting with academic subjects, or just showing the kids that learning can be fun, your presence will have a huge impact. The connections you build with these students will leave a lasting impression.

Your tasks will include:
– Helping care for children and teaching basic hygiene like handwashing and brushing teeth
– Assisting local teachers with English lessons
– Organizing activities like singing, dancing, games, and storytelling
– Creating and preparing lesson plans for fun, engaging learning
– Participating in school events or activities at the center

During school breaks, you might help run a “day camp” for local kids, combining English lessons and sports. You’ll have a lot of freedom to be creative, but it’s important to come prepared, stay on schedule, and be patient with the students. And remember to follow the dress code—shoulders and knees covered, with men wearing trousers and T-shirts.

The best part? We’ve got everything covered. Our local coordinators will be there to support you every step of the way, offering assistance and guidance whenever needed. You’ll also have a 24/7 emergency contact number, so you’ll never be alone if something comes up.

Women Empowerment in Kenya

**Empower Women, Empower Yourself! Join a Local Initiative in Nakuru**

Ready to make a real impact? Join a program supporting over 50 women-led self-help groups in the Nakuru area. Your involvement will help underprivileged women build confidence and learn essential skills for self-sufficiency, from business training and leadership to reproductive health.

You’ll be working with women who have had limited access to education and need support to thrive in today’s world, where knowing how to budget, run a small business, or use basic technology can be life-changing. By teaching them financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and personal development, you’ll help them build resilience and create lasting change in their lives and communities.

This experience isn’t just about teaching – it’s about cultural exchange. You’ll be immersed in a vibrant community, where you’ll form meaningful connections with local women. They’ve had little interaction with people from outside their immediate environment, so your presence alone can broaden their worldview and inspire new perspectives. In return, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of their culture, challenges, and hidden strengths.

Through creative teaching methods and a positive attitude, you’ll help break down barriers, making learning fun and accessible. As long as your topics are relevant to the program’s goals, you can use your personal passions and experiences to make an even bigger impact.

Whether you’re placed in a government-run daycare or one managed by a charity, you’ll help create a fun, creative, and nurturing environment for these young children.

This experience is all about cultural exchange and helping the children grow through play and learning, with a focus on speaking and interacting in English. Many of these kids come from underserved communities and don’t get much practice speaking English outside of the classroom, so your time with them is extra valuable. You can choose to work with babies, toddlers, or slightly older kids—or mix it up and work with them all!

While you’ll be collaborating with local staff, you’ll also have the freedom to bring your own ideas and activities to the classroom. What matters most is your attitude and energy—kids love when you’re playful, engaged, and excited to be there. Throughout the school year, activities change to fit the season, local festivals, or even environmental topics, and during the holidays, special events keep the children entertained.

This program is a win-win: the kids get to learn English in a fun, relaxed way from someone who’s fluent, and you’ll gain hands-on experience in childcare and education. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to connect with the local community, from teachers and students to even the children’s parents.

**What You’ll Do:**

Medical Internship in Kenya

This program is geared toward anyone with a healthcare background, whether you’re studying or already working in the field. You’ll be able to contribute based on your skills and knowledge while gaining real-world experience in a unique setting.

You’ll take part in a range of activities at a local medical center or hospital, helping people who often don’t have access to affordable, quality healthcare.

It’s a complex mix of public and private providers, with major gaps between urban and rural areas, especially when it comes to infrastructure and access to care.

One of the most impactful opportunities you’ll have is volunteering as a “backpack nurse” in remote areas. Some patients can’t make it to the hospital due to the distance or lack of transportation, so you’ll bring healthcare to them. This means you’ll be walking long distances, offering a rewarding yet challenging experience. After a day’s work, you can unwind by the hotel pool.

Through this program, you’ll grow your medical skills and knowledge while getting a firsthand look at the everyday struggles healthcare professionals face in low-resource areas. By working alongside passionate local staff, you’ll help improve access to healthcare and make a real difference in the community.

Expect to dive into various tasks based on your skills. You’ll be shadowing doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, gaining exposure to both in-patient and outpatient care. From monitoring patients and observing medical procedures to helping with health education in the community, there’s always something to learn and contribute to.

Your involvement in the program can have a real impact on the hospital’s operations. Not only will you bring fresh knowledge and ideas, but if possible, you can donate medical supplies or resources, which would greatly benefit the community and reduce financial burdens on the hospital.

Schedule (Monday to Friday)
