The best part of this volunteering program is the children, who are charming and get involved a lot, and Daniel's strong commitment to the project. However, you must come with realistic expectations: the app profile promises three daily meals, wifi, and stable services, but the reality is that no meals are provided, there is barely any internet, and power and water outages are constant (something, by the way, normal in the area). I recommend updating the profile to avoid surprises. If you come prepared for the reality of the area, the affection of the children makes it all worthwhile.

I really appreciate your feedback but if you are coming to give back to community teaching alone is not enough the projects development relies on the people we are meeting

The foundation leader has good intentions and is truly committed to helping the community. However, due to limited resources, the accommodation and meals may not always match the original description. I understood and accepted this, but I would have appreciated knowing it before travelling so I could have planned my expectations. Overall, it was a meaningful experience.

My time is defined by talented youth & dedicated local staff. I co-led Spanish classes & taught salsa, which was deeply rewarding. Sadly, the advertised conditions: meals, Wi-Fi, & basic kitchen were absent. Communication from the host, Daniel, deteriorated, including during a city protest when volunteers were told to shelter in place but not checked in on. Daniel grew tired of my questions that he cancelled my remaining dance classes. Despite his unprofessionalism the program is valuable. Thank you Kibera youth, Diana, Elijah & the rest of the team!

I want to express how deeply disappointed we are with your time as a volunteer at our organization. Although you were only with us for a few days, the experience turned out to be one of the most disappointing we’ve had with a volunteer. We welcomed you with trust, respect, and genuine appreciation, expecting someone who would embody the values of service, commitment, and integrity. Instead, your actions and attitude left us feeling disrespected and let down. Rather than contributing positively t
