For over 14 years, we have been dedicated to supporting children’s education and community development through practical, hands-on programs that uplift children, strengthen families, and empower communities.

Supporting a Child’s Education

With over 180 children currently attending our school, supporting every child is a significant responsibility.

BCHF currently supports 25 children with their education, but many more children remain without sponsorship. For families facing financial difficulties, meeting the cost of education can be extremely challenging.

During your time with us, you may meet and connect with a particular child whose story touches your heart. If you feel connected to one of the children and would like to support their education, you can choose to sponsor that child.

Child Sponsorship

Sponsoring a child costs €60 per term, covering three months of education.

One term: €60
One year: €180

Your sponsorship can help a child remain in school, continue their education, and have a better opportunity for the future.

We believe every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and dream, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Your support can help make that possible.

Your Time Can Make a Difference

Living and volunteering with us gives you the chance to experience authentic Kenyan community life while contributing to meaningful work that directly benefits children and families.

At BHA and BCHF, you do not simply come to volunteer. You become part of a community working together to bring hope, opportunity, and a brighter future to children and families in Kenya.

Your time, skills, compassion, and presence can make a difference.

We are a humble, warm, and welcoming team who truly enjoys meeting new people and learning from different cultures. Hosting volunteers is a joy for us, and we are always excited to open our doors and hearts to those who join our community. We value shared experiences, new ideas, and meaningful collaboration, and we look forward to working together to create positive and lasting change. You are genuinely welcome here.

If you would like to make an additional contribution to support the school, children, or any of our ongoing projects, you are most welcome to do so. Any additional support is greatly appreciated but completely voluntary.

Accommodation

Volunteers stay in our mission home, located within walking distance of the project site. The home is safe, comfortable, and offers a warm, family-like environment where volunteers can relax, connect, and become part of the community.

Location and Safari Experience

Our project is located near the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations.

We are also partnered with Wimbaway Safaris, a trusted safari provider that can organize unforgettable wildlife experiences for volunteers. Safari trips can be arranged during your stay, with pick-up directly from the project site for your convenience.

This makes it easy for you to explore Kenya’s incredible wildlife, landscapes, and cultural heritage while staying with us.

Volunteer Experience

Our school and community projects operate with limited resources, so flexibility, patience, and creativity are very important. Some days may be simple or challenging, but there is always meaningful work to be done.

Your positive attitude, willingness to learn, and readiness to help can make a real difference in the lives of the children and the wider community.

Support Our Mission

We warmly encourage volunteers to support our work through fundraising or sharing our mission with others before or during their stay.

If you feel able to support the school through fundraising, educational materials, donations, or other resources, we would be very grateful. All additional support goes towards improving the lives of the children and strengthening our projects.

We appreciate all forms of support, whether financial, educational, artistic, technical, or hands-on. Your ideas and skills are always welcome as we continue to grow and improve our programs.
