AmeriSpan offers Volunteer placements in Kenya

Kenya's capital, Nairobi, is an ancient city with a thriving business center, powered by the latest information technology. It is possible to leave Nairobi and drive in just a few hours to a place where life is lived in accordance to tradition and custom; where native tribes, such as the Maasai warriors, armed with spears, drive cattle into thorn brush enclosures to protect them from lions at night. Kenya's magnificent wildlife parks draw millions of tourists from around the world each year to witness life preserved in its natural habitat.

There are 42 ethnic communities in Kenya, all with their own language, history, culture and customs. The connecting languages spoken and understood by most are Swahili and English.

Volunteer projects are located in Nairobi. Hot and humid, Nairobi is the modern capital city of Kenya also known as the 'Green City in the Sun'. Our volunteer program presently supports local orphanages and hospitals. For certified health care professionals there are ample opportunities to assist doctors in local hospitals.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you check with the US State Department and other government agencies before choosing this program. This is not a location for people with little or no international travel experience.
