Environmental Conservation Volunteering in Kenya, this program is one of the game changers in the volunteering programs. It is diverse in that it can be done in schools, in the community or even in government related organizations. Environmental programs are broad because they may involve trees planting, building of gabions that prevent erosion, recycling, mass cleaning of rivers or institutions like schools where volunteers have the opportunity to teach children and the community on safe ways to handle waste and such. In some cases, volunteers have seen mass planting of trees in schools and even in conservancies and around community places like markets and community fields. They therefore have a chance to foresee planting of trees and with their expertise in environmental management trained the community and schools on the best breed of trees and flowers or even grass to be planted in a specific place. Where we are lucky enough to secure placements in companies, volunteers have had a chance to train staffers on recycling of waste or water to be useful in their day to day lives and also to plant trees together either for beautification and or natural shade. Also in farms, volunteers have had a chance to train farmers on proper ways of handling waste and with the progress in this, we are looking forward to having volunteers train farmers on value addition which is part of environment management where they can use dung for production of biogas or bee wax for production of beauty products and the like.
The most satisfying part of this program is that a volunteer will have a chance to exploit their potential in Environment conservation and to bring in their innovativeness while making the nation green! A volunteer is free to carry simple working materials like hard gloves because it may involve touching rough surfaces like trees. This program has an additional fee of $100 per 2 weeks to cover for placement logistics.

Duration : Charges Week 1 $295 Week 2 $495 Week 3 $695 Week 4 $895 Week 5 $1095 Week 6 $1295 Week 7 $1495 Week 8 $1695 Week 9 $1895 Week 10 $2095

Description

Salire Afrika Volunteers is a platform established in January 2020, and is located in Nanyuki which is one of the busiest tourist destinations in Kenya. Nanyuki,a town northwards of Nairobi,borrows its name from the Maasai community,its earliest inhabitants. (meaning 'place of red water' in the Masai language) .It is situated just north of the Equator, and at an elevation of 1,947m above sea-level, is the 14th highest town in Africa. Indeed,it is home to Africa's 2nd highest peak at MOUNT KENYA. The town is strategically sitting on one of the longitudinal imaginary lines, the EQUATOR! As Salire is Italian for Soar, Salire Afrika gives you an opportunity to soar Afrika on the wings of charity and adventure. We aim to create opportunities for volunteers across the world who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of indigenous and local communities living in Kenya! The volunteers' primary destination will be our volunteer houses from where they will be matched to their specific programs and placements either in teaching, youth and sports, child care, special needs, nature conservancies, medical outreach, animal welfare,women and girl/ boy child empowerment. These placements spread across town and its outskirts.
