Volunteer in Watamu, Kenya
OVERVIEW
We are very excited to announce that in Summer 2024, we will be partnering with A Rocha in Watamu, Kenya. A Rocha is an international Christian Charity that specialises in conservation and community outreach programmes.
​
A Rocha would like us to build some water tanks for rural communities, training local people in this skill. There is currently a huge demand for water tanks with the ongoing drought.
​
There is also the opportunity to get involved in some sports lessons at a local school as well as teach health lessons. You can also take part in ringing of the birds.
​
You will stay at Mwamba, A Rocha's guesthouse which is on the shore, overlooking the Indian Ocean. The accommodation is very comfortable with communal areas to chat and play games in the evening.
​
My adventure with Go Make a Difference was a life-changing experience and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. You will be making a difference and I guarantee you won’t come back unchanged.
