VOLUNTEERS IN KENYA
Our volunteers have been the backbone of the Umoja Project
Not only do they come and work at our project, but become immersed in the culture of Kenya
We now have had 8 teams of volunteers totalling 72 people take the leap of faith and come and work at the Umoja Project. Their lives were changed for the better, having the experience of assisting to create a project on the other side of the world, so far away from Australia.
We welcome volunteers from all over the world. Please contact us to access more information to become a volunteer and be part of our “voluntouring” experience.
Let me introduce you to some amazing people from Australia – our incredible volunteers. You will see in some groups their names pop up again. That is because they have returned 2, and 3 times.
Africa has a way of getting under your skin.
