Project Description
Childcare Program
Make a difference Volunteering in Children’s Homes in Kenya
As a volunteer on our childcare program, you will spend memorable time helping children living in a children’s home. You will assist with various everyday tasks such as helping with homework, fetching water, assisting with laundry, or even cooking local Kenyan dishes.
Because ALL Children Matter partners with legally registered homes in Kenya (including a home specifically for children with special needs). Many homes support over 100 children who require love, educational support, and emotional care.
Who can join
- ✓No special education required, but we ask that you come with an open mind
- ✓Be prepared to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 2 weeks
- ✓Able to work alone or with little supervision
- ✓Be self-motivated and goal-oriented
Our goal
Our goal for the children’s home program is to assist the dedicated local staff running these facilities as best we can, following their direction and leadership.
Children’s homes provide safety and structure for orphaned or vulnerable children in Kenya. Volunteers give children hope for a better future through physical, educational, and emotional care.
Every child requires care, encouragement, and love—your presence helps ensure they feel valued and supported!
