Volunteering

Accommodation

Accommodation that is provided for the volunteers is the family homestay type. This means that volunteers stay with a family as their host. Staying with a host family is very ideal and cost effective for both the volunteer. The volunteer gets to have the experience of a different culture. In a room a volunteer has to his/her own, a bed and beddings. In the urban homes of the host families, volunteers have access to most facilities. However, there are some places of work and residence without electricity and running water so you may do without television, and other facilities. However were are very sensitive about the volunteer’s security and safe health. The cost of accommodation is part of the total program fee. In most cases, it's one volunteer to one room. Matching volunteers to host families and pairing volunteers in a room is done by picking needed information from the volunteers themselves. The host families are consistently screened with their information updated on regular basis to make sure they meet our standards and also match to volunteers we send over to them.

We normally would want to place our volunteers outside the City or main towns because of transportation expenses, but if a volunteer(s) insist that they want to be placed in Nairobi, or any of main towns, where cost of transport will be incurred, then they will have to meet their daily transportation expenses.
