About the project

ESC: Team volunteering opportunity in Kenya!

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will work full-time (between 30 and 38 hours per week) and will have two days off per week. They will help: - Establishment of tree nurseries and planting of trees in homes, schools and community social places to enhance vegetation cover, reduce soil drought and the risk of flooding; - Support community members in the farms to enhance methods of cultivation, irrigation, harvesting and increase productivity; - Educational sessions on permaculture and environmental sustainability in schools and other social places.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers’ accommodation will be at the Kuth Awendo Resource Center. There will be separate female and male rooms to be shared. Three daily meals will be provided by cooks and volunteers will assist them preparing food in shifts. Typical Kenyan food includes rice, ugali, chapatti, beans, and vegetables/fruits. Meat, sadines and/or eggs are also available for those who want to eat them. Kisumu International Airport is the closest to Kuth Awendo village, which is one hour by car. Airport pick up upon arrival & drop off, food and accommodation will be covered.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
