Volunteer in Kenya (ages 18+) 
While Kenya is in better shape economically than many of its less fortunate neighbors in East Africa, lack of adequate healthcare is a serious problem in some areas, and much of the population lives in abject poverty. Sixty percent of Kenyans live on less than $1 per day.
As a volunteer in Kenya you will have the opportunity to use your unique talents and skills to assist Kenyans who are working to build a better future for themselves and their
country.
“My overall experience was incredible and extremely eye-opening. I believe everyone, no matter what age or gender, should see the same things I did to be aware of other lifestyles and cultures, to realize what is happening in the world and hopefully continue spreading knowledge and awareness.”
-- Ricci, volunteer in Kenya
