Programmdetails

Volunteer With Community Growth Network – Homa Bay, Kenya

At Community Growth Network, we welcome volunteers from around the world to support our mission of empowering families and creating opportunities in Homa Bay, Kenya.

Volunteers stay with our family home, where we host up to three people at a time, creating a warm and authentic cultural experience. You can contribute in many ways — supporting teachers in local schools, helping with small building projects, mentoring youth, participating in community outreach, or helping with farming, tailoring, and social media.

Together with volunteers, we are rebuilding programs that empower women through tailoring, support children and youth, and strengthen community health education and farming initiatives.

You will help 4 hours per day, 5 days a week, usually 8:00am to 12:00pm, with 2 days off. We provide a private room, 3 meals a day with family, drinking water, laundry, and WiFi when available. We will receive you in Homa Bay town on arrival. We are located 5-6 km from town.

By joining us, you become part of a community working together to create hope, dignity, and lasting change.

Regeln

Rules — General Volunteer Position:

Respect our family and community. Be kind, polite, and open-minded. We are a family home, not a hotel. Treat everyone with respect, including children, elders, and neighbours.
No photos without permission. Always ask before taking photos or videos of children, youth, or families. If they say no, respect it. Never post children's faces or names online without permission from the parent and from Nixon.
No promises of money, gifts, or sponsorship. Please do not promise money, school fees, gifts, or sponsorship to children, youth, or families. If you want to help, talk to Nixon first so we can do it honestly and together.
No fundraising. Please do not raise funds, write funding proposals, or ask for donations for our projects. Volunteers help with skills and time, not with fundraising.
No medical work. Please do not do medical testing, screening, or treatment. You can help with health and hygiene education only — like teaching handwashing and clean water. If someone is sick, tell Nixon, we will help them find a clinic.
Work with a teacher or family member present. When helping with children and youth, always work with a teacher or family member present. Never be alone with a child. This protects you and protects the children.
Be on time. Work is 4 hours per day, 5 days a week, usually 8:00am to 12:00pm. If you are sick or need a rest day, tell Nixon in the morning.
Safety first. Tell us where you are going when you go out. Don't walk alone at night. Keep your passport and valuables safe in your room.
Thank you for respecting our home. Karibu sana!
