The Experience

By volunteering ,you will be able to learn and explore new cultures and encourage the kids to be amazing individuals who make a good difference in the future. Some of the tasks to be done are teaching the kids different subjects like languages and sciences. I expect the volunteers to be well mannered and respect everyone they come in contact with. Volunteering with us will help change your way of thinking. I hope to see you all soon.

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better host or volunteer experience. Umu and her family made me feel so welcoming, gave me great advice, and really helped me feel comfortable. On top of volunteering, Umu took the time to show me around, teach me about the local culture, and take me to some awesome spots.
The accommodations were super clean, safe, and comfortable. If you're a first-time solo traveler or student looking to volunteer abroad, I literally cannot recommend this placement enough. Massive thank you to Umu and her family!

I went to Kenya at Umu's home for my first solo trip and it was wonderful. I recommend this place at 100% ! Umu and all her family are so kind and friendly! They make you feel like home. There is 3 different schools and you can choose where do you want to go and switch between these 3 the project every day as you want. her house is nice, you have your own room and there is normal toilet too:) They are very attentive and always take your opinion and needs into account, whether it's regarding wake-up times, activities or meals. If you're still hesitating, stop and go ! Trust me, you won't regret it

I feel incredibly lucky that I got to experience my very first solo trip with Umu and her family. I came back one day ago after spending two and a half unforgettable weeks in Kenya,I don’t think I’ll ever forget this experience.
Every day we visited different schools, taught English and created memories I’ll carry forever. Weekends we had opportunity to discover Kenya with her( best guide). One of the highlights was launching a fundraising project to renovate one of the schools we volunteered at, and seeing it begin while I was still there was amazing. I know I'll be back soon. Asante so much
