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.im a social worker by profession, unfortunately joining the job market as youth in Kenya is a struggle and I decided to help my family in development programs.
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.children need to be children without struggling mentally what to eat or even how to sleep.
Empowering my family is the first key step to empower my community.

Coming to Nakuru would be one of the most amazing experiences here in Kenya.
you've the interest to stay with a Kenyan family and experience one beautiful thing, for instance a smile of strangers ,then look no further.
About our village?
-We live in a village,our life is basic,no WiFi but you can buy internet at an affordable price.
-We don't offer special diets we share what we have with our volunteers.
-we don't have running water ,so we prefer volunteers to buy water from our market centre,coffee and any special diet you need , cost by you!
I hope the best for you.
Projects involving children

Help
IT'S JUST A KIND REQUEST ,TO WHOEVER UNDERSTANDS WHAT HUNGER AND POVERTY IS CAPABLE OF.
My mission is to rescue my family from extreme poverty and help them Access to:
. quality Education
. health care
.Home for children where they have clean bedding and safe environment.
This not for people who just want to visit Nakuru and explore through hikes and lakes but to whom are passionate and dedicated to help in house building project proposal.
#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 to have a house for my family.
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.
