Serve in the largest, poorest slum In Nairobi
Life is harsh in the Nairobi slums. Hunger, disease, and lack of medical care create a vicious cycle for the children and families here. Yet despite these heartbreaking conditions, it's still possible to make a difference.
By partnering with Feed the Hungry, Lifetree Adventure volunteers will work in Kibera, Nairobi's largest slum. The team will assist with food drops, working with AIDS-infected families, and spending time at a school that cares for hundreds of children.
After serving in Nairobi, you'll head into the bush to extend the love of Christ to people whose most basic needs often go unmet. Foremost of these needs is access to clean drinking water.That's something we take for granted in western countries, but it is a precious commodity in many locations around the globe. One of those places is Kitui-a village some 80 miles from Nairobi-and that's where Lifetree Adventure volunteers will be to help with water purification projects and agricultural projects.
COUNTRY FACTS
