Teaching volunteers in Kenya are placed in community schools, public schools or orphanage schools. Many of the schools we work with are constantly understaffed and are always in need of new volunteers.
In this program, volunteers can work by themselves or alongside other teachers and volunteers. Typical subjects taught include – English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art and Physical Education.
School in Kenya runs for three terms a year (Term One – January to March, Term Two – May to July, Term Three – September to November). There are short breaks between these terms in the months of April, August and December during which time volunteers can take a break, travel, engage in tourist activities such as safari, take tutorials for senior students, or participate in another placement. N.B. Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.
Dagorretti Primary School - This school is located approximately 10 minutes out of Kibera and provides education for over 300 children ranging age from 5-15. Similar to many schools in this area, there is a desperate shortage of teachers and professional to help educate the children.
