When you volunteer with us in Kenya you will create not only a life changing experience for yourself but also add value to the local community and school as a whole. Our goal is to give back to the communities and provide access to quality education and a safe place for the students we support. Your time here will include working hard during the week to provide a quality level of volunteering but with plenty of time for fun in the evenings and weekends. Volunteering at the school and with the children should always be fun - and being surrounded by hundreds of our sweet students often doesn’t feel like work!
Supporting A Child in the Rough through volunteering means you can play your part in:
Come see for yourself! We want our donors to have the opportunity to physically see where their donations are going and how every dollar is making a positive change in the lives of our children. The staff and students at A Child in the Rough would love to meet you and welcome you into our school!
Schools in Kenya can have classes of between 15 and 100 children at any one time and are often under-resourced and underfunded with a genuine need for support. Star of Wonder School receives no support from the government and is fully reliant on A Child in the Rough for support. We cater to approximately 300 students ranging from kindergarten to grade 8, ages 4-18. Therefore, we have a great demand for enthusiastic and engaging volunteers with a positive attitude who can keep up with the fast-paced atmosphere of the school. Having a passion for working with children and a can do attitude is what we are looking for!
If you have a special skill such as construction, farming, videography/photography, nursing, dentistry, or something you feel would be especially beneficial to our school please contact us and share more!
