My time at the organization was absolutely incredible! The host and staff were wonderful and very accommodating, they're the reason that my experience was so easy and comfortable. I’d say the best aspect of this foundation is the school kids and the meaningful relationship you build with them. 190 friendly and energetic children eager to speak and learn from you is truly heartwarming and it's what I loved the most. the organization is phenomenal and I would love to visit this foundation again!

This experience is truly life-changing for so many reasons. It gives you the opportunity to experience firsthand a reality that is very different from what we are used to, and it puts you face-to-face with real needs. It gives you the opportunity to do something concrete to make a difference. One thing I would definitely say is that this is a reality that needs a lot, but above all, it needs people who are willing to get involved, be creative, and bring joy. I would strongly recommend bring simple school & creative supplies: pencils, erasers, modeling clay, sharpeners, red pens, notebooks etc.

Gaia was one of the best volunteers we have had. She was kind, easy to be around, and genuinely committed to supporting the children. Through her donation, we were able to complete the Special Needs Room, which has made a meaningful difference for the children.

I truly appreciate Gaia and her family for trusting us and supporting this important project. Thank you, Gaia, for your time, kindness, and support, and for being such a wonderful ambassador for BCHF. We will miss you❤️

Life changing experience. The children are amazing, but their most urgent needs are food, clothes, shoes, school supplies, and Bibles. During my stay, I saw children eating mainly corn flour mixed with water, and some cried from hunger. In my opinion, meeting these basic needs should come before expansion projects. If you donate, consider bringing essential supplies or make sure your money directly benefits the children. They should always be the priority.
Future volunteers should consider buying supplies in Nairobi before travelling, as this can provide more direct support to the children.

Hi, thank you for sharing your concerns. The Worldpackers contribution covers volunteer hosting costs such as meals, accommodation, utilities, and internet, not children’s food.
A short stay cannot show the full picture of our challenges or the work being done behind the scenes. Personal items are unrelated to organisational funds.
Honestly, in all my years of hosting volunteers, your stay has been the most difficult and disappointing. The children remain our priority, and I wish you well.

This experience was one of the best things I've ever done! Andrew is a fantastic host, always available and ready to help with any questions! All the staff are extremely kind, the school hosts about 190 children and being with them and helping them was truly emotional! The other volunteers were all kind, and it was wonderful to meet people from other countries and exchange opinions and thoughts. I recommend this experience to anyone. the organization has become a second family to me; there's no better place in the organization to have this kind of experience. Asante sana!❤️
