Description
Hello travellers,Feel safe as I welcome you to join my family and I in Nakuru to volunteer with me and help in fighting against poverty through sustainable Agriculture and community development program to eradicate physical poverty, social struggles and health related problems to enable them become responsible and fulfilled adults.
My name is Marion,a 24 years Old,born and raised in Nakuru.
Being the fact I was brought up in a poor background, poverty whether extreme, moderate or relative remains a threat to the existence of humanity.
The heart of our work is service to all children who are living in poverty.
Who are we?
We are grassroot Organisation that primarily works at community developing activities to fight poverty.
Breaking the cycle of poverty starts with Children,we engage each individual and
help children from different backgrounds.

-We don't offer special diets we share what we have with our volunteers.

Help
IT'S JUST A KIND REQUEST ,TO WHOEVER UNDERSTANDS WHAT HUNGER AND POVERTY IS CAPABLE OF.
#Fundraising Awareness
- To increase operational excellence, we need help in fundraising and grants. We do a lot of work every day on our community but financial constraints remain the biggest challenge.
- We would truly appreciate the help of a volunteer who could come up with financing ideas for us to make money for this project.
What to expect?
-You will spend your days with children on holidays or evenings after school.
- Work on the farm is the major thing(the help to the farm is physical ,is the best place you can deepen your practical skills set.(if you're looking for a comfort Zone ,I would suggest, somewhere else where those desires are appreciated)
I believe change is inevitable, come and we can make a change.
