Gap
Kenya is a window to the world from which rural communities
can request your assistance. These are specific people with
projects that are urgently looking for help. GapKenya simply
provides the "window" for you to discover them and a high
quality and efficient volunteer infrastructure, so that
you can safely help and make a worth while, positive contribution.
Many
of the projects do not have the resources or funding to
provide a suitable infrastructure such as sourcing accommodation
providing 24 hr support so that is where we come in. By
choosing to assist a GapKenya community project you will
not be a tourist but become part of the rich fabric of Kenyan
life and it's people.
Through
living and working in Kenya for over 10 years the team have
a comprehensive knowledge of the country and the many communities
that request help. Due to our experience on the ground in
Kenya we can provide you with the chance to assist and immerse
yourself in interesting & challenging projects.
All
the communities are based in the Highlands of Kenya, Eldoret
is the main hub. This area is off the beaten track of the
tourist trail so you get to know the REAL Kenya and make
a REAL difference to people's lives.
You
wont be one of many Gappers in a big machine but will be
able to have individual experiences within small groups
allowing you to become part of the community and not just
a tourist or one amongst many. Flexibility and individuality
is a key feature.
The
Office - Our Team has first hand experience of assisting
communities and organising both Gap Breaks and holidays
for groups in Kenya. They now want to be able to help even
more people by helping people like yourself to find out
about projects that urgently need your help.
Based
in Mid Wales our team understands that it can be daunting
booking a Gap abroad and ensures the highest standards are
applied and complete commitment in providing a quality service
to you! The Project
Teams
- Each project has a dedicated local team that you will
become a member of. They work on the projects and will show
you the ropes and make you feel welcome. With their excellent
knowledge you will soon feel like one of the locals! The
Project

advice and to sort any problems out for you. Whether you
want to know where the nearest shop is or to take part on
a new project they will be there to help you through out
your stay.
