Aller à la académie scolaire m'a fait élargir mes perspectives. Ce que Jacob fait depuis le lieu où il a lui-même commencé sa vie, avec tous les défis que la pauvreté et les pays africains apportent, est incroyable. Il est si passionné et persévérant dans son objectif d'apporter éducation, égalité et chances pour un avenir meilleur pour les enfants vivant dans la pauvreté. Nous nous sommes sentis complètement bienvenus dans sa famille à la maison et dans la famille-école. Jacob a trouvé son agapé et donne tout son être pour le réaliser. Il est ouvert et transparent et veut être digne de confiance, alors nous avons acheté ensemble toutes les fournitures scolaires de la campagne de financement participatif, ce qui est génial!

I loved volunteering at the school! This is a place where you can really leave an impact and help the whole the school. You can pretty much choose your activities. The kids are lovely and most of the experience is all about the school and the project. Mbita is a small town and there aren't many things to do besides the volunteering. If you're looking for a reliable place, a needy the school and a remote location - this is definitely the place.

Estuve en la escuela Academy como profesora. Jacob, el director del proyecto, nos hospedó en su casa (a menos de 1 km del colegio) y se encargó de que no nos faltara de nada. Estuve muy bien y todo el mundo fue muy agradable. Aunque en el colegio falta organización de cómo pueden ayudar los voluntarios porque lo que realmente falta no es mano de obra sino recursos económicos.

My experience at Mbita with the school Academy was transformative. Seeing children with so many needs who enjoy small things like sharing their school break with us or playing soccer with so much joy is something that I will never forget. Jacob and his family were excellent hosts, always taking care of us. We were able to tour the different neighborhoods of the city and even be in contact with several local families. Without a doubt it was a super enriching experience. Thank you and we will see you again soon :)

The children in the school are amazing! They love the volunteers and include you in their daily lives. The experience was great but it seemed a little unorganized, probably because I was there during summer break and the kids were called back to school on short notice. I imagine that there is a little more going on during the rest of the year. Good experience overall!

Pros: This is a good project if you want to work with children while enjoying some quiet, peaceful time in a safe, small rural the school. You'll live and share experiences with local families. I feel well taken care of and compared to other projects, the fee is fair for what you receive. Keep in mind: Meals can be basic, so consider buying additional supplies. The drive from Kisumu/Nairobi is long, so plan your time and budget accordingly. Be prepared for rural bathroom and shower conditions. Tips: Get a data bundle, take malaria pills and bring a power bank and flashlight for blackouts.

Contact: whatsapp +4790117663 Wow! Nissi was such a fulfilling and beautiful experience. The kids and the teacher at the school are so so kind and loving. I really got myself 190 new best friends during my stay❤️ You can really see and feel the difference you are making during the time you spend there. It was wonderful to stay at Lavender and Jacobs house. From day1 you already felt a part of this lovely family, and they makes you feel taken care of. I learned ALOT about the Kenyan culture.I will be back❤️ Cons: No Wifi in the house, and sadly I have to say that the meals could improve a bit

Our experience with Dr. Jacobs, Nicci the school Academy and his family was life changing. He and his family were very inviting and thoughtful. They welcomed our family with open arms and our children played together everyday. We indulged in local cuisine and traditions. It was so good to break down cultural barriers and stereotypes on both ends. More than anything, our time at the school Academy was moving and inspiring. The children(as well as the teachers and Dr. Jacobs) were excited, thirsty for knowledge and open and willing to receive our family, our suggestions, and our ideas.

Jacob and Lavender were great host. The school has some amazing teachers there making major moves with the students. the school of Mbita Nyanza is very underfunded and everyone is trying to make some money. Sitting on Lake Victoria, you have beautiful scenery that you wake up to everyday. Please expect to raise funds for things needed for the school. We were able to get many things accomplished. Uniforms, desks, mats, payroll for a month, socal media presence, a sustainable development project, but more importantly, the process to help those in need. Real change happens here.

The school needs help both external and internal. Teachers are wonderful and doing the best job they can do under the circumstances. We definitely enjoyed being apart of helping the school Academy to start to have sustainable development programs. Improvements all around will provide the school, the teachers and the school a chance to advance and create opportunities for everyone to make a living. We appreciate Jacob and Lavender for their hospitality.
