Have you ever dreamt of teaching children to read or helping preserve the habitat of an endangered species? You may be able to make those dreams come true. While traveling and studying in a new city and country it can be an amazing experience in itself, some students and travelers want to give back to the communities who are hosting them and make a difference in their own way while they’re abroad.

For these travelers and students, programs that help them volunteer can be the perfect blend of travel and service, offering a chance to learn, grow, and have life-changing experiences.

There are various opportunities for students and other travelers looking to volunteer abroad, covering a wide range of countries, types of work, and lengths of stay that can meet the needs of nearly any developmental charity-minded student traveler. Yet even those who want to give back may not know where to start looking for volunteer work programs, how to finance a trip, or may just be intimidated by the idea of traveling and working in another country without a steady income.

Should You Volunteer Abroad?

While volunteering abroad is a noble endeavor, not all students and travelers may be well-suited to the challenges it poses. Others may simply find that it doesn’t work well within their plans for college and will need to wait until they’ve graduated to explore these kinds of opportunities. While there’s no foolproof way to know if you’re ready to volunteer abroad, here are some questions to ask yourself before signing on for any program.

Can you respect other cultures even when they differ from your own? Depending on where you travel, you may encounter cultural beliefs that are very different from your own and may even make you uncomfortable. Being able to live among people you may not always agree with and be respectful of their beliefs even if you don’t share them may be a critical part of your experience abroad.

 Are you flexible? As a volunteer, you’ll have to go along with whatever tasks your program needs you to assist with. This may mean letting go of grandiose plans for changing the world to focus on everyday, basic tasks. Volunteering abroad will also require flexibility from you in a range of other areas, from where you’ll live to how you spend your free time.

    How do you cope with being outside of your comfort zone? Most places that are in dire need of volunteers are going to push you outside of your comfort zone in one way another, either in terms of comfort, culture or in the leadership they require of you. How have you coped with being pushed out of your comfort zone in the past? While new, sometimes uncomfortable experiences can help you grow, for some living and working this far outside of what they know will be more stressful than productive.

Does volunteering fit into your goals? Before signing up for a program, it’s important to think about what you expect to get out of a program and to assess how it will fit into your long-term goals for school and your career. If you need to focus on internships or taking classes over your breaks, volunteering may not be the best option for you. For others, it might be a nice change of pace from a tough academic schedule.

    What are your expectations? It’s also critical to think about what your expectations for a volunteering program are as well. If you’re used to living in luxury housing, you may need to think about how you’ll cope with a lack of indoor plumbing or primitive housing. Even if you’re sure you want to volunteer, you need to think seriously about where you want to go and what kind of experience you want to have, as this will play a big role in determining whether or not you enjoy volunteering or are overwhelmed by it.

    Why do you want to volunteer abroad? 

This is perhaps one of the most important questions to ask yourself before signing up to volunteer abroad. Do you simply want to bolster your resume? Do you want to make a difference? Are you passionate about a cause? Knowing why you want to volunteer in Kenya can help you determine where you should go, what you should do, and even how long you should stay.

If you’re unsure about your answers to these questions or find elements of them troubling, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to rule out volunteering abroad. Take your time carefully considering your options, talking to others who’ve been through the experience, and ensuring you’re taking on the project at the right time for your educational career.

Your Options for Volunteering in Kenya.

Opportunities for volunteering abroad and more so in Africa, Kenya have exploded. There are thousands of volunteer opportunities through organizations and non-profit programs offering the chance for students, researchers, travelers and anyone else to spend time living in and providing community service to an area in need. It’s impossible to cover the entire spectrum of programs in one article, so here are just a few common types of overseas experiences that may pique your interest and get you ready to take off on your own altruistic adventures.

Those who enjoy hands-on, eco-focused experiences will love the opportunity to work outdoors and play a central role in local communities through the program.

For those who prefer to work directly with helping people, a program such as the Working with orphaned children, Teaching, medical/health programs, internships or doing work camp projects with local communities may be a more satisfying choice.

We're committed to sustainability, in the communities in which we operate and in the ecosystems we encounter. We seek to minimize the impact of our trips by reducing and properly reusing or disposing of waste created, by conserving energy and water areas are treated with respect.

We always strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Where possible we encourage our travelers to use public transportation, which also adds to the cultural experience. When we do need to use private transport we use modern fleets, which are more energy efficient and emit less carbon dioxide.

Cultural engagement and exchange are central to our company ethos, as each trip is a unique mixture of adventure, culture, and philanthropy. We maintain that one only gets to truly know a place by getting to know its people. Volunteer days of the trip are guided by our church volunteer work  policies developed by the church on church-run volunteering guidelines

We support local efforts of sustainability by staying at eco-lodges and homestays during the trip.

GIVE BACK TO COMMUNITY.

Hawa Children's Home(Boys)

This trip supports the community through helping with the Hawa Children's Home in Kitengela - where Nairobi’s abused, neglected, orphans and out-of-school children can find a safe place to go in the evening and have a good night sleep and lodge 24 hrs with all meals provided. Living in the slums can be dangerous, and these classes provide the children with a safe environment and sense of belonging in a community, where they can keep out of trouble, out of danger and build up a trusting relationship with each other and the YHA-Kenya Travel / Hawa  Childres Home for Boys volunteers. The education classes also help give the kids useful life skills which can help them find jobs in the future.

You can help support this project by helping Hawa Children’s  Home for Boys fundraiser Ksh 5,000,000 which will pay for the construction of a much-needed residence, allowing the Boys to live on-site at the community run the school.

Experience first hand how effective this project is by joining us on this tour to witness the impact your money makes on the lives of young men (Boys) in Nairobi Kenya.

Tumaini Children’s Home(Girls).

We have also partnered up with The Presbyterian Church of East Africa St Andrews Church Nairobi. supporting an amazing rehabilitation intervention program specifically for girls at Tumaini Children’s home which is managed by the church women's guild.

The home is looking to fund more than 100 orphaned girls into an “incubator of change”. A community run school serving as a safe haven, an education establishment and program for the empowerment of young women in Nairobi city. A multi-dimensional project with multiple benefits for the community.
