About this program

Project Overview

Kenya offers meaningful volunteering in orphanages and children's homes — and My Experience Africa helps you find a placement that truly suits your interests. We coordinate every project and stay involved so you can focus on making a difference from the moment you arrive until the day you leave.

Alongside your placement, we organise social and cultural activities where you can build friendships with volunteers from all around the world. Whether you stay for 2 weeks or 52, our friendly in-country team is available whenever you need support — we take that responsibility seriously, and aim to give you an experience beyond your expectations.
