Volunteer with IHF Kenya Children’s Home

Message non lupar IHF » mer. déc. 26, 2018 12:40 pm

Location
The center is located in Kenya’s Rift Valley, in an area known as the African Great Lakes region, meaning when you are not volunteering, you are within two hours of some of the most spectacular national parks, wildlife, and adventure experiences you will find anywhere in Africa. Nakuru, Kenya acts as a hub for our education and agricultural projects, as well as our other community development and empowerment work.

Overview
The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) has been active in Kenya for over 20 years working with local tribes, caring for and education children born into poverty and providing a place where international knowledge and skills can be employed to support the local community. Volunteers who sign up to donate their time at our IHF Kenya Center make a very real impact during their stay participating in any or all of the following local tasks:

- Provide hands on help with the Center's day-to-day operations
- Participate in a cultural exchange, organizing special games and activities with our children
- Support our sustainable Peace Farm Project and learn how agriculture is still a vital part of everyday Kenyan life
- Help supplement our children’s education by joining in with our evening reading and study programs

Benefits
In addition to making a notable difference in the lives of children, you will:

- Enhance your CV with international experience
- Explore the natural beauty of Kenya
- Immerse yourself in local culture
- Join a global network of IHF volunteers and alumni
- Leave a Legacy by adding value to our center with your knowledge, skills and experience

Spend your free time exploring the amazing National Parks, lakes, and safari neighboring our center; for more information on what the location has to offer please explore our Nakuru Tourism Guide.

Eligibility
IHF is looking for volunteers who can commit at least two (2) weeks to our Legacy Program. Volunteers accepted to this program will have:
- Confidence using the English language (both spoken and written)
- An open-mind, with an interest in learning not just about the community, but from the community
- Deep empathy for impoverished children and their communities
- A commitment to our Core Values.

Previous international travel and volunteer experience is a plus.

Note: Volunteers need no prior experience in the NGO field, but do need to have, patience, kindness, and a love of children. We provide all the necessary training, background, and supplies necessary for you to have meaningful interactions with the children and wider community.

Program Options
Volunteers interested in this program have several options:

Legacy Traveler- You can volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours each day helping out with any of the local tasks above. The rest of your time is free to explore the incredible surroundings of our center.

Legacy Volunteer- Add value to our NGO by volunteering for an additional 4 hours each day by working for one of our online teams and gaining practical experience in an NGO environment. IHF has no centralised administrative offices and so relies on volunteers coming to our centers to help manage and support our international activities.You will receive a certification on completion of your program, a letter of recommendation upon request, and qualify for a discounted rate for your stay. This role requires volunteers agree to make additional commitments for the duration of their stay and will have less time for tourism and personal activities. It is best suited to volunteers interested in gaining practical experience working for an International NGO.

Legacy Specialist- Do you have any special skills or training which would be useful to the center, the community or the people we support? IHF is constantly looking for volunteers with expertise in medicine, engineering, construction etc; contact our volunteer team at volunteer@ihfonline.org or visit the specialty volunteer page of our website here for more information. We have adjustable rates for volunteers willing to run professional legacy projects.

At-Home Volunteers- Not sure if you are ready to travel and live as a volunteer at one of our centers? No problem! IHF is searching for At-Home Volunteers to support our mission remotely by committing 2-3 hours per week from their homes around the world. An At-Home volunteer should have access to a dependable computer, wifi connection, and experience with Google Suites applications is a plus.

Program Cost
The fees associated with a volunteers stay vary depending on the number of hours they commit to IHF each day. All volunteers receive one day off per week to relax and explore the beautiful and culturally rich region.

Legacy Traveler- Those committing 4 hours per day for between 2 and 4 weeks will pay $200 per week.

Legacy Volunteer- Volunteers commiting 8 hours per day for a minimum of 4 weeks will pay $100 per week.

Accommodation and meals, prepared by a local member of staff, are included in this program. All program fees go towards supporting our centers, running our programs, and caring for our children. You’ll have a fabulous tourism experience whilst ensuring your money is supporting a wonderful cause you’ll get to see with your own eyes.

Not included are your travel costs to and from our IHF Center, immunizations, travel insurance, visa fees, and any spending money you wish to bring with you.

Note: due to the nature of our work with children, should your application be accepted we do require a clean criminal background check which is less than 1 year old.

Also, I told my friends about your work via FM whatsapp, which I downloaded from the fantastic GBWAMOD site. You will find some unique features in FM Whatsapp that you won't find in other mods. You can hide the blue ticks, you can hide the online status, and many other features are available.
Very great job it is!!
