Project Description
Teaching program
Support special needs classrooms in Kenya
On our Special Needs Teaching program you will work as an assistant in government schools, as well as some boarding schools, supporting local teachers in the classroom.
This support can come in many forms. You could be helping to organise the children for their daily studies, working one to one with children, or playing with them on their breaks. The list of possibilities is endless. They need your help and will welcome you with open arms.
Who can join
- ✓Experience working with special needs children and children with disabilities, or a willingness to learn new skills to help in the classroom
- ✓Able to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 2 weeks
- ✓Able to work alone or with little supervision
- ✓Self motivated and goal orientated
Our goal
Our main goal is to help the teachers and give the children an education.
Teachers in these classrooms have anywhere between 50 and 60 students at any given time. Having you there can really make a difference to how they are able to help their students.
Education is invaluable to children in Kenya. You will support teachers in giving children the best they deserve, and have fun along the way!
