KENYA / Global Vision International
Based in the vibrant city of Mombasa, East Africa this project takes you to the Bombolulu slum where urban migrant and disadvantaged communities live next to the upmarket residences of Nyali. At a children’s centre you work alongside volunteer teachers providing education to the most vulnerable children, improving literacy, supporting counselling, environmental and social awareness. Out of school arts and sports programmes help combat social pressures that lead to substance abuse and crime. You will also volunteer at an orphanage for HIV / AIDS orphans, helping this local charity care for and educate the children in their care. This project allows you to gain an insight into the challenges faced by communities in East Africa and learn how grass-roots organisations offer real opportunities and care for the children most in need, with minimal resources. Experience history, traditional Swahili culture and cosmopolitan Kenya in the nation’s second largest city. Visit Haller Park, home to giraffe, hippo, crocodile, monkeys, antelope and giant tortoise.
