  • English Teaching in Kenya

    English Teaching in Kenya

    Education in Kenya is supposed to be free, however, there are a growing number of children who are excluded from school due to parent/guardians being unable to pay the extra charges. Working with the local community, our partner in Kenya assists those parents/guardians who are struggling to survive with small income generating projects.
    Our partner provides free education, food, clothes, basic healthcare and school stationery for orphans and children from disadvantaged backgrounds while helping their families get out of poverty with small income-generating projects. The school normally hosts between 50 and 70 children.
    The volunteers on this project will be involved in a number of tasks. Firstly, they will teach English and advise teachers on how they can improve their teaching methods. They will also improve the students’ literacy, PE, art and music skills and help out with the running of the new computer lab. Volunteers will also help with some office tasks such as administration, accounting and funding proposals. Finally, volunteers will offer support by growing fruit and vegetables and will assist with the goat and rabbit projects.
    Additional Information
    IVS are recruiting for two volunteers at one given time: one in a teacher role and one in a more administrative role. For the teaching role, we are particularly looking for qualified teachers with good IT skills. For the admin role, we would welcome applications from individuals with experience in the charity sector and in accounting. Volunteers must b UK residents and aged over 20. An ideal volunteer for this project has a passion for teaching, especially in teaching through alternative methods, as well as a patience in dealing with a different culture, adaptability, and willingness to live in a rural environment with only basic facilities.
    We would like volunteers to stay a minimum of 3 months (90 days). This is the length of one school term and for a volunteer teacher, this is enough time to form a good bond with the pupils and teachers to enable him/her to teach effectively. We would be very happy indeed to have a volunteer stay longer should they wish to.PROJECT DURATION: MINIMUM OF 3 MONTHS PROJECT COST: £340
