Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the
Childcare Volunteer Project in Kenya.
On this program, you will assist in early childhood centers, community centers and kindergartens. These centers can be overcrowded and underfunded so the extra help volunteers can give is highly valued. Volunteers gain experience teaching and caring for young children and support local staff so they are better able to focus on providing quality care and education.
Volunteers are accommodated in homestays with local families who have been approved by our local team in Kenya.
The program has
start dates on the 1st and 15th of every month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 1-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
