Who we are
Founded in 2002, we work in partnership with communities in Kenya delivering programmes that help create better futures. The people we work with are excited to welcome you to Kenya and looking forward to sharing their life experiences, learning, knowledge, and skills.
We believe in a world where strong, healthy communities can thrive, building sustainable livelihoods and brighter futures.
Harambee is a Swahili word that means ‘working together’ and this is what our volunteer projects are all about – working together with a team of local staff and volunteers in Kenya to help create brighter futures. We aim to provide:
- Access to essential health services, a supply of clean, safe water, and good sanitation
- Education to equip people with knowledge and confidence to achieve a productive and fulfilling life
- The skills and ability to generate an income that can sustain a family
As a volunteer, you’ll bring with you a powerful means of helping to achieve this. We look forward to hearing from you!
