Our Kenya Fact File aims to give background information on certain aspects of Kenya; here we provide information not only covering places of interest in Kenya but also information about health, culture and wildlife in Kenya. We strive to update the Kenya Fact File regularly to provide you with new information so you can get a great insight into Kenya before you decide to travel.
If there is any aspect of Kenya you would like more information about, or you would like to book one of programmes in Kenya, please do not hesitate to contact our Africa team.
Get involved with successful projects that aim to give children and families the means to sustain themselves. You can help provide food, shelter, clean water, training and health care – and most valuable of all, emotional support.
Make a small but meaningful difference to people in Nairobi. Work in a hospital or orphanage, reaching out to people who live in poverty. You can teach and care for the children, help repair infrastructure and learn Swahili too.
Orphans in Kimilili get very little love and attention because there simply isn’t enough staff. This is where you come in. You’ll divide your time between teaching and caring for the children – both equally worthwhile tasks.
Teach English and computer skills in the morning and organise sports sessions in the afternoons. The lessons will greatly improve the children’s prospects, while sport will keep them fit and give them a chance to enjoy themselves.
Immerse yourself in Kenyan life and become part of a three-year plan to improve life in a rural village. Live and work with the community, helping with tasks such as construction, teaching, landscaping and painting.
Family Friendly! A rewarding two-week experience for families looking to give something back to underprivileged African communities. Plus, you’ll experience the beauty of Kenya through a varied activities programme. Minimum age 6 years.
