Description: Some of the environmental challenges include land degradation, deforestation, liquid and solid waste management and air and water pollution. Major causes of environmental pressure include floods, poverty, wildlife, deforestation etc. In this program we try to bring an end to environmental destruction and improve the environmental condition in Kenya today. This practice will lead to maintenance of global biodiversity, fruitful productivity and steady ecological systems. Our organization has been involved in various activities within the local communities which include; tree planting in schools, private and trust lands, community farms, and intensification of environmental conservation.
Type of Work: • Tree planting activities • Children activities • Community clean-ups • Conservation of water wet lands and water catchment areas • conservation of biodiversity • Volunteers will work in environmental conservation with community members
The volunteers and the community members will also have the chance to take part in our other regular community activities, such as: . Children sports and Arts activities. . Teaching, Spanish, French etc . Volunteers can take part in Swahili lessons
Study Theme: Community Development, Cultural Exchange
Accommodation: The community will accommodate volunteers in a house provided by the local people.There are pit latrines, no running showers but bath-shelters for use will be provided and majority of homes have no electricity. We strongly advice volunteers to be flexible and easily adapt to the provision of other culture within the local environment and appreciate its uniqueness.
Volunteers will sleep on the floor (affordable mattresses can be purchased in the community or volunteers need to bring their own sleeping mattress along). There is access to clean water.
