This essential program aims to help vulnerable children in Nairobi through giving them a solid education. Many of the children in the school’s Love Volunteers works with have suffered much already at a young age. Many are orphaned or have simply been abandoned. They all live in poverty and are at risk. Through a solid education this program aims to support these children and help them to create a better life and to break the poverty cycle.

Volunteers will work within elementary and high schools teaching a variety of subjects. This may include mathematics, science, geography, social sciences, history, business education, English, art and music. Volunteer teachers in Kenya are not required to have teaching experience, however this would of course be advantageous. The schools selected on the program usually receive little or no government funding so are very poorly resourced.

Extra teaching support is vital in classrooms with very large rolls, and which lack even basic supplies.  Any teaching support given by volunteers in the schools is gratefully accepted and appreciated by teachers and students alike.

 

Goals of this Project:

  • Provide essential teaching to under-resourced schools in Nairobi
  • Provide an educational foundation for vulnerable children to build on and break the poverty cycle
  • Improve the future prospects of the children in Nairobi
  • Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both locals and international volunteers alike.
