About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Kehra Home offers services for people (adults) with intellectual and mental disabilities. Everyday we work for one goal- that people who live with us should have active and positive day no matter of their age, gender or disability. We are also very active in sports like walking, games, dancing, singing and activities like art and handicraft. We are always standing for disabled people´s rights to be involved in society and feel safe at home. We support every person to be as independent as they can. We concentrate in everyday activities which people in their homes are carrying out – cleaning, working in the kitchen, outside in the garden, where in summertime grow herbs, vegetables and flowers. We are guiding and teaching our clients how to carry on these activities on their own as much as their skills and disabilities are allowing.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers might live in a hostel or together with other volunteers in shared accommodation, where they have all needed facilities (kitchen, bathroom etc). There may be 2 volunteers from same gender accommodated in one room. Internet connection is not provided by the host organisation. It is arranged by the volunteers themselves. Volunteer receives money to buy and cook by himself/herself. The money for food will be given to the volunteer monthly. Volunteer will receive monthly transportation card or money to cover work related travels.
