Children in Katunguru don't just need lessons, they need consistent, caring adults who show up. As a volunteer, you become that person. Someone who sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and leaves a mark that lasts long after you've gone home.

Supporting teachers during lessons
Preparing activities and resources alongside the team
Spending one-on-one time with children who need a little extra encouragement
Running creative, play-based sessions that make learning feel like an adventure
Helping develop after-school activities
Getting to know families and becoming part of community life

The impact stays long after you leave.
Children who grow up with consistent, caring adult support do better in school, feel more confident in who they are, and grow into people who give back to their own communities. Your few weeks here become part of that story.
Where you'll stay
You'll be based at Irungu Forest Safari Lodge, inside Queen Elizabeth National Park. Comfortable, well-located, and right at the heart of the community you're here to support. When the day is done, the park is on your doorstep.
