Volunteering in Kenya-Step by Step
We connect passionate individuals with communities across the globe, offering life-changing opportunities to volunteer, learn, and grow. Whether you’re teaching in a rural classroom, supporting wildlife conservation, or empowering local initiatives, every step you take creates a ripple of positive change.
Step 1. Choose a Volunteer Program you are passionate about.
Select a program.
Fill out an application or interview
Submit required documents (passport, background check, etc.)
Pay a program fee (usually covers housing, meals, airport transfer, etc.)
Book your flight to Nairobi (or Kisumu/Mombasa, depending on location)
Step 2. Pre-Departure Preparation
Vaccinations: Yellow fever (required), typhoid, Hep A/B, and malaria prevention
Visa: Apply for a Kenyan eVisa online before travel
Packing: Modest clothing, sunscreen, reusable water bottle, basic first aid
Cultural research: Learn some Swahili phrases and understand local customs
Step 3. Arrival & Orientation in Kenya
All programs provide:
Airport pickup in Nairobi or regional cities
A local staff member will welcome you and conduct a cultural + safety orientation
You’ll be introduced to your project site, host family, or volunteer house
Step 4. Volunteer Work
Typical volunteer day: 4–6 hours of service, Monday to Friday
Projects are community-based and often run alongside local staff
Afternoons/evenings may include cultural exchange, Swahili lessons, or rest
Weekend trips (safaris, hiking, Maasai village tours) are often optional
Step 5. Cultural Exchange & Learning
You’ll learn about Kenyan traditions, food, language, and hospitality
Volunteers often build lasting friendships with host families, local youth, or fellow volunteers
Cultural respect and humility are key: listen more than you lead
Step 6. Wrap-Up & Impact Reflection
Some programs include a final group reflection, farewell dinner, or community celebration
Volunteers receive a certificate of completion
Many go on to raise funds, support from afar, or return to visit
