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

Daniel is trying his best to provide for the children from the Foundation. He and his friends and other local volunteers are super friendly and fun. I had a great time here and I can recommend everyone to go here, to see and experience Kibera in its nature.
Daniel tried to help with everything and he made sure that I am okay. We also went to the Amboseli National Park together with his car.
Had a good time and it wont be the last time I will be here.
