I have a free round-trip ticket to Nairobi in June and am trying to arrange some volunteer work for myself while I am down there. The problem is that I am a poor student and I cannot afford the program fees charged by most organizations. The only way I can volunteer is if the volunteer opportunity is cheap or free. Do you know of any organizations offering cheap volunteer opportunities in Kenya?

From Bart Kenny

There are not many organizations advertising volunteer work in Senegal currently, the following three organizations hopefully provide an excellent starting point for your search.

Below I have listed two organizations offering cheap volunteer opportunities in Kenya. If neither of these organizations are what your want, I recommend you look for volunteer opportunities while you are in Kenya. There are dozens of small organizations that would love your help.

Amurtel - Charity based in India that runs children's homes in Kenya. Women volunteers work 2, 3 or 6 months. Simple vegetarian food and accommodations provided; volunteers contribute $250 for short stays of 2-3 months and $400 for longer stays.

Friends of Tsavo - Arose as a result of a growing need to protect and conserve the natural diversity of one of Kenya’s most important national parks, Tsavo National Park.

Tsavo Conservation Trust - Volunteers participate in a variety of volunteer opportunities in rural Kenya and contribute $177 per week to cover costs. Basic computing training also required; shared accommodations available for $7.50 per night.
