Kenya First Hand Experience

Have you ever dreamt of travelling to another country and connecting with people from different cultures? Do you want to wake up each morning knowing that by the end of each day, you will have – through your own efforts, helped a village bring education to its children?

A First Hand Experience provides an exciting opportunity for individuals to travel and work closely with people of another culture and to help make a positive change to their lives. 

Taking place in Marafa near Malindi on the Kenyan coast, this challenge entails building much-needed classrooms for a primary school. Currently mud-walled, uninhabitable and without toilets, this construction work will help create a conducive learning environment for the school children.

Helping to build a school alongside local people is a unique experience that opens your eyes to the plight of others who do not have the basic, simple amenities that most of us take for granted. It is both a physical and emotional experience and volunteers often come away knowing a great deal more about themselves than they did beforehand.

No experience is necessary to take part: just enthusiasm, motivation and the desire to help make a difference!
