Volunteers
Conditions Fees  Duties  Experiences

Our home is working with volunteers since July 2003. In the meanwhile we have had many volunteers, staying for one month up to five months. Most volunteers have offered the children a lot of fun, attention and love. They came with a good heart and did what they suppose to do. They cared about the children, with a smile and sometimes a tear. They have showered the children with love and emotions, they have cherished their most beautiful moments with the children. These volunteers they will never forget the children and the children will never forget them....We have a net work of volunteers sharing their experiences together, they befriended one and each other. And there are volunteers who are coming back for the second time and third time.... If you have the right intention and you are a flexible friendly child loving person, willing to work in a team and you are not stucked into your luxery life then KARIBU SANA...

There are some rules you have to respect!
* always keep in mind that you came to Kenya to assist in the home. Let that be your priority and not to spend most of your time to have holiday.
* please dont start relationships with staff
* what ever you think it is normal for you at home or in Europe dont do it here. Kenya has totally different morals and it cant be correct to show them yours !
* We are a Christian home and expect you to respect our religion and therefore cursing or disrespecting God in any way is not accepted !
* Christian behaviour is also appreciated in our home. You are representing a Christian home and should be a example to the children!
* Keep in mind that the food is not like at home and we have dont have the means to allow us the most luxery food. To complain about food is in a country like Kenya where people die of hunger out of order! If you cant miss your cheese or any favorite food for some time bring it with you or be strong....
* it is not allowed to drink alcohol in front of the children and not to get drunk !
* it is officially not allowed to smoke within the home.
* bear in mind that the children in our home are despite their back ground normal children with normal problems.
* Every volunteer is different. It is good to have your own opinion but it is not possible to change the home rules, morals, schedule to your standard cause this will confuse the children. 

Our projects: we need volunteers to assist in our childrens home in North Mtwapa. We have rented a big house with 6 rooms where children and volunteers live. The childrens are between 1 and 16 years and you can meet them at the childrens page.

If you want to come to assist us in this home you pay a registration fee of 150 euro and 350 euro monthly for accommodation in the home and three meals. Coffee and tea are included.

We also have started another project where you can volunteer in the home care program. We visit homes within the slums or poor villages and bring food packages and clothes. You do assist with taking care about the children and bring them to school, you take care about the mother when she is sick, and assist with hospital visits. This work is more tough then working in the home and you must be able to deal with sometimes sad and difficult situations. You live in one of our bungalows with three other volunteers. Due to your work this place will help you to release your mind when not at work. The cost is a bit higher cause it is quiet luxery.

registration fee 150 euro incl transfers to the home or bungalows return.
Kenyan simcard with call credit & Handguide for volunteers. Monthtly fee 450 euro incl 3 meals, coffee and tea included. Drinking water nog included.

If you think that you are the right person and share our thoughs you are most welcome to spend a unforgetable time with us!
