Program Category:
Wildlife and Conservation
Our main aim is to offer support to community-based organizations through outsourcing and placement of international volunteer personnel to improve the life of our, wildlife, and people and hence contributing to the development of our country. We appreciate the diverse talent and skills each volunteer is endowed with and we want those who can offer such service as a volunteer to come to Kenya and make a difference in the lives of underprivileged community members around the national park and general wildlife conservation in Kenya.
We work very hard to conserve wildlife since it's our country's beauty and source of government revenue. It attracts so many people to volunteer and tour from all over the world.
We open doors to all people from all over to visit this great Nation. Volunteers work hand in hand with game rangers.
