Why volunteer?

AfCiC welcomes volunteers with open arms. There are 1001 ways to get involved, and we have had people from every walk of life working with us. So, are you looking to get involved and make a difference? Do you have skills, enthusiasm or experience that could help change the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable children while enriching your own? Get in touch if any of this resonates with you.

AfCiC works in both Thika, in Kenya, as well as in the UK, so there are plenty of opportunities to visit us and volunteer with us, no matter your location, and you will invariably be part of a like-minded, committed team, where your contribution will make a real impact.

Volunteer with Action for Children in Conflict in Kenya

Our Kenya volunteer programme is unique in that it offers a tailor made volunteer experience: we aim to match volunteers’ roles to their specific skills, experience and areas of interest, enabling both the volunteer and the charity to get the most out of collaboration.

Who can volunteer? Adults of both sexes 21 years+ (School Holiday Club volunteers 18yrs+)

Commitment: We ask the majority of our volunteers to commit to a minimum of 3 months and preferably 6 months.

Cost: For volunteers who stay 3 months a minimum project contribution of £600 is requested, plus all costs related to travel, accommodation at our rented house (approximately £100 a month) and living expenses in-country. For 6 months an £800 project contribution is requested plus all costs related to travel, accommodation and living expenses in-country.

Please note that your project contribution will be used specifically for the project which you choose to work on in Kenya.

Alternatively, if you wish to stay at our Interim Care Centre, you should contact us to receive an accurate costing for your placement.

What we can offer you: a volunteership suited to your skills and interests, social activities and a full-programme of support during your time in Kenya and professional references at the end of your volunteership. AfCiC volunteers have new and unique experiences, form many friendships, gain new skills, develop personally and professionally, and become part of an organisation that makes a positive difference in children’s lives in a very direct, effective way.

If you are based in Kenya and wish to volunteer with us, please contact the email address below. We would also love to hear from you, and be able to partner together in the future.
