MOTTO;
“Strive for Excellence”
OBJECTIVES
1. To mould future leaders
2. Maintain high discipline
3. To reduce illiteracy level in the Community
4. Create platform for volunteerism.
CHALLENGES
• Cultural practice such as female genital mutilation
• Poor sanitation
• Lack of funds to facilitate the proposed development projects
• Dependency on external assistance
• Poor utilization of available resources
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work for six hours daily from Monday to Friday.
Manual work and Intercultural activities:
• School construction
• Teaching primary school pupils
• Tree planting
• Stones collection and pathways clearing
• Sensitization of the community on the side effects of FGM
• Home visits and topical discussion with the local people
🏠 Accommodation on site
• Volunteers will stay in classrooms at the School with very basic living conditions.
• Volunteers have an obligation to climb down the level of the people with the aim of exposure to development challenges.
• The Government policy to install ICT in primary schools has seen connectivity to the national power grid for most educational institutions in Kenya and this makes it easy for volunteers to use electric appliances while at the project.
• Furthermore, we invite you to bring typical food, spices, drinks, games and music from your country (for an intercultural evening) – and a lot of motivation!
🍲 Food
• KVDA will provide foodstuffs and volunteers will cook their own meals in turns.
• Water is available from springs and it is recommended that drinking water should be boiled or medicated. Mineral water available at supermarkets is also recommended.
🎒 Leisure activities
EDUCATIONAL TOURS KVDA offers educational tours to spectacular sites including the renowned Maasai Mara Game Reserve at separate fees. Please contact us for specific tour information.
