Kibera UK - The Gap Year Company - sends volunteers to help in the Kibera slum in Kenya.

 

Please note: Kibera is now safe and we are resuming our work.................

 

Please help – the people of Kibera need you!

 

Kibera is situated 5kms southwest of Nairobi, housing almost 1 million people in one of the largest settlements in Africa. The people are living in extreme poverty and much help is needed.

 

Kibera UK will organise your visit including your accommodation and job placement. We take no money from you. You save up, pay your own airfare and hostel costs but we will be helping, organising and advising.

 

Our Nairobi Partners are Kutoka who are based at Guadalupe Church just outside Kibera, Christ the King Church in Kibera & Soweto Baptist Church in Kibera.

 

Estimated cost for 3 months volunteer work plus 2 weeks holiday is GBP 1,600 (USD 3200, Eur 2400).
