Locally-owned and locally-run accommodation is part of your program fee. Whether you stay in a home stay, a local guesthouse or a volunteer house, you can be rest assured that a part of your fee will make a change to the local community which means that before you even lift a finger at your project you'll have already made a small but significant contribution.

The vast majority of our placement accommodation is based on host family occupancy. This is beneficial in a number of ways over a hotel stay. We carefully select local families in order to house our volunteers in a safe and secure area. Kenyans are very friendly and warm and will afford you the level of privacy and service you require. Often the homes will have children who may occasional ask you help them with their homework or watch them play. The parents will treat you as family and be able to offer you lots of advice and local information along with our support staff during your first few days.

You will be provided with two nutritious meals each day, consisting of breakfast and dinner prepared from locally sourced produce. It is exciting to stay with a family; that way you will learn the Kenyan way of life, meet local people, eat local food and engage in local customs and traditions. Volunteers can expect to share a room with one or two other volunteers. Regardless of the tribe or culture your host family is from, they will be sure to give you a good Kenyan treat.
