Community
We are one of the only commercial organisations in the UK to donate money directly into its supported projects every time we send a volunteer, specifically to fund meals, project equipment and materials. As an example, one volunteer working on this project for just two weeks will fund either a new set of footballs, match officials for half a dozen fixtures or league affiliation fee for one team for one season. In addition to our financial support, the humanitarian aid you provide is invaluable and in recent years, one of our main supported teams have grown from being unable to train due to a lack of resources, to now having footballs, access to a training pitch, boots and now competes in a semi-professional league.
Our in-country staff (project co-ordinators/coaches) are local residents who are contracted to enhance job security and paid well above the national average. We use local staff because of their invaluable knowledge of the local area. They are trained and experienced in welcoming volunteers and provide excellent project orientations upon arrival. You will stay in a locally-owned home, living with a Kenyan family in order to enhance your authentic African experience as well as providing funding directly into the local economy during your stay.
Environment
We are also one of the only commercial organisations in the UK to plant a tree in-country every time we send a volunteer in order to offset the carbon emissions generated from your flight. Where possible, we use public transport to pump money into the local economy as well as reduce fuel emissions whilst in-country.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
