Volunteers Development for Africa

Welcome to Volunteers Development for Africa- VoDA. VoDA is a non-profit organization situated in East AfrIca, Kenya. VoDA strives to serve the rural communities of Kenya and the greater East African region through community driven development projects.

VoDA offers persons from around the world  the opportunity to see Africa in a different way. We give you the opportunity to see Africa's treasures which are its rich wildlife and experience amazing african hospitality.  We understand that when you take a break from work work or school/college you would like to relax, but this relaxation can be coupled with community development initiatives that gives back to communities that are deprived thus giving them a platform to uplift themselves and live a dignified life.

VoDA offers you the opportunity to book an African safari to many of East Africa's  famous destinations ranging from Maasai Mara where the 7th wonder of the world can be witnessed from to Amboseli National park where East Africa's largest elephant population can be seen with Mt. Kilimanjaro at the back drop of it all. This safari is followed by time in community projects that VoDA runs with various communties across Kenya. 

VoDA works in close partnership with a local safari company, Mzima safaris,  to plan your initnerary for your luxury safari before you proceed to your community project. We give you the term eco-tourist/volunteer when you uptake this service

We believe that if meaningful and sustainable development is to be realised then  marginalized and financially challenged communities VoDA works with need to identify the obstacles they face and look for solutions, implement them, then evaluate their actions, supported by VoDA's staff and other development agencies. We come in to provide the trigger mechanism and support towards this change.

We have a great need for volunteers/ eco-tourists for our short and long/middle term programs, and can arrange a wonderful trip for you to serve on. The longer the better! If you are interested in volunteering with us, please fill out the volunteer placement application form and we will contact you as soon as possible. Thank you for taking the time to find us on the web,we hope to hear from you soon.
