What to Expect

Are you a passionate educator looking for a meaningful adventure? This unique volunteer trip invites teachers from all backgrounds to share their skills and gain fresh inspiration in the heart of rural Kenya. You’ll work alongside local teachers, lead workshops for students and adults, and explore big issues like gender equality, mental health, and access to education, all while experiencing a vibrant new culture.

Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or early in your career, this is your chance to be part of a dedicated international team making a real difference, and to return home with a renewed sense of purpose, global perspective, and unforgettable memories.

This 10-day immersive experience offers teachers the opportunity to:

  • Support local educators with lesson planning, classroom strategies, and inclusive teaching practices
  • Work with students of all ages, from early childhood through to secondary school
  • Deliver engaging workshops on themes such as gender equality, life skills, mental health, and literacy
  • Learn from Kenyan educators, gaining insights into teaching in low-resource environments
  • Contribute to our Peer-to-Peer learning model, encouraging cross-cultural exchange and collaboration
  • Explore the wider context of education in rural communities where many families live on less than $1 a day

You’ll also have the chance to visit Nasio’s Early Childhood Development Centres, community projects, and healthcare projects to see how education is woven into a holistic approach to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Example Itinerary

  • Morning: Orientation session with an overview of our projects and introductions to the Kenyan team.
  • Afternoon: Join our social work team on a home visit. Meet a family we support, hear their stories, assess needs, and even help prepare a meal together. A powerful start to understanding daily life in our community.
  • Morning: Prepare breakfast for the children, then assist teachers in the classroom with reading, lessons, and playful activities.
  • Afternoon: Help serve lunch, play outdoor games, and support teachers with resource preparation.
  • Later: Attend an adult education class to see how lifelong learning empowers our community.

Roll up your sleeves and transform lives in just one day. Assemble a safe, simple home for a vulnerable family. From framing to traditional “mudding,” you’ll witness the joy of handing over a completed house by sunset.

Every Friday, young mothers gather for support and training. Sit in on sessions covering positive parenting, child health, and community savings schemes (“table banking”) that help women become financially independent.

  • Morning: Join our outreach team for jigger smearing, using a natural mud-and-dung mix to seal huts and prevent jigger infestation. Help protect families from this painful parasite.
  • Evening: Take a scenic walk to Bukakha Rock and enjoy the sunset with new friends.
  • Morning: Serve breakfast at St Irene’s, then walk with the children to attend a local church service.
  • Afternoon: Explore Mumias Market, experiencing vibrant Kenyan culture and daily life.
  • Morning: Work on our community farm, then prepare nutrient-rich spirulina porridge at the Porridge Kitchen. Support malnourished babies with feeding and health checks.
  • Afternoon: Attend a peer education session on sexual health and empowerment, followed by a lively match with Greenblades football team.

Spend a day at Noah’s Ark, mirroring your time at St Irene’s: serve breakfast, support classroom learning, join playtime, and help teachers prepare resources. A rewarding chance to inspire and connect with children.

  • Morning: Work with guardians on the Nasio farms, planting, weeding, or harvesting crops that feed vulnerable children.
  • Afternoon: Shadow staff at GMK Medical Centre: weigh babies, attend clinics, and learn how our healthcare team serves the community.
  • Morning: Visit our Spirulina Farm and learn how we cultivate this superfood to combat malnutrition.
  • Afternoon: Join the house handover ceremony for the family you helped build a home for. Celebrate this life-changing gift before preparing for your departure.
