Program Details
For many of the children we feed each day, ours is the only meal they will get, but we don’t always have the manpower or the funds to open our kitchen every day. Volunteers who can offer their time and expertise to help us cook simple, nutritious meals to ensure fewer children go hungry each day are essential to our programme.
Our kitchen runs from 2pm-6pm Monday to Friday and 10am-2pm on Saturday throughout term time, and 10am-2pm Monday-Saturday during school holidays (April, August, November, December, first week of January). You will be supporting our cooks to prepare and serve meals, and to clean kitchen equipment afterwards. You will have two days off a week (Sundays and one other day of your choice, to be decided with the team when you are here). Please be aware that we are thirty minutes outside Nairobi, and a taxi costs around $10-15 one way, or you can get the local bus for less than a dollar.
You are welcome to join boxing training after your kitchen duties are finished, if you would like to. One of our team members works for a safari company, and will be happy to help you book a safari at a reduced price for before, during or after your stay with us :)"
