  Beschreibung

  Hello Family, thank you for stopping by our profile.
  Iam called Cosmas and I belong to one of the oldest traditional farmers in Kamba land Makueni County, along Nairobi- Mombasa Road, near Mtito-Andei, just a round 7 mins drive to the Tsavo West & East National Park.
  In our farm we grow our own food and share some and water to the villagers who sometimes comes to give a helping hand.
  
  Since three years now I have come back from travelling and I have taken over the leadership of the farm from my parents, my two sisters are living abroad sends the support big time. This is a mixed Race community, in that case we do not encourange any type of discrimination, we are all human and we rule out that we are the same and we live together as a one big family.
  
  I live with my wife and our four grown-up children who are working in the city. We have also close relatives who comes and go when ever they want.
  
  By the way we are very remote, we have no WIFI, you have to buy your own sim card from Safaricom or Airtail, for pay as you go, and we normaly like taking mature people, may be a pair will be helpful, but it depends with the seasons, sometimes we are not busy but still we remain open to the coming back guests or let me call them friends .
  
  people who likes using their body and dose not mind getting dirty . We would like also people we could trust who are comfortable to take care of the farm if I go away.
  
  We have one helper not employee whom I have trained a year a go and t decided to stay and we have accepted him as part of the family , when there is a lot to be done then our friendly helping community takes over
  
  We, me and my younger three sisters have inherited this farm from our parents.
  We are the third generation in hosting volunteer from East Africa.
  Our parents had hosted only young school age boys aged from 10yrs whom they sponsored to go school .
  We only host muture people age from 40yrs old, those who want to learn farming so we freely train them in our farm.
  
  Our farm is a magnet to people our parents left the doors open to travelers and we follow their footsteps, we are very welcoming and the communities are realy accommodating.
  
  Being near the Tsavo National, the Kilanguni park and Momba beaches these makes both our visitors and volunteers want to remain forever.
  
  How to reach us, for all locals and Internationals, we are situated along Nairobi - Mombasa Road near Mtito- Andei. If you are travelling from either side I would advice you to take the train.
  Information about the public transport from either Nairobi or Mombasa.,
  We have trains, buses and minibus running along our location.
  
  There are three trains from Nairobi to Mombasa, Two Express trains and one inter - County train.
  County train ( TrainN2) departs every morning at 8 am and stops at Mtito-Andei at 10:50 am
  Its advisable to book your tickets in advance to avoid disappointments.
  I will be happy to assist in booking your train ticket if you share your dates in time.
  If you have any question please feel free to ask. Otherwise you are most welcome ( Karibu Sana )

  In our farm we work as a team, and we learn from each other. At the moment we are not very busy but there is always things to be done like care for animals, we keep goat and sheep for meat
  If there is some one out there who has some skills on organic farming please feel free to apply!
  
  Because the sun gets extrem very hot early we like starting a bit early in the morning 8am before breakfast.
  We request you to work for 3hrs daily , fro Mon.Fr. you are free weekend.
