Workcamps timetable

International Workcamps Timetable

This year, we have arranged a variety of short term work-camps works that cover almost every region of Kenya. The work camps last for a period of 3 weeks. This work-camps play a critical role at the community level in terms of facilitating inter-cultural exchange between the members of the community and the international volunteers.

We believe this exchanges play a critical role in helping our volunteers comprehend what development is all about by experiencing it firsthand in the homes and work-life of the community in which they will be working in.

We hope that you will find a project that suits you.Once you do,please go to the application form link and while filling out your personal details,enter the project
