VICDA is excited to add the new Voluntourism program to its growing list of involvement opportunities.  The Voluntourism program is designed for people on holiday who would like to not only enjoy the beauty and culture of Kenya but also give back to the community.  Travellers participating in the Voluntourism program will enjoy this unique pairing and will experience an authentic and meaningful stay in Kenya.  This is a wonderful alternative to the traditional family vacation – an experience the entire family will remember forever!

Participants on the 2018 Voluntourism Trip (July 3rd – 17th) will expose volunteers to the Africa local community and volunteering at a Medical Camp,teaching in schools and volunteering at other ongoing VICDA Projects on the site. The project are based in Nakuru County in Rift Valley Region. This group of IDP’s (Resettled Internally Displaced People) were displaced as a result of ethnic clashes in the December 2007 Presidential Elections. The Kenyan government has resettled these particular groups near Rongai, Kenya but they still have a long way to go in rebuilding their lives. VICDA has worked with this group since 2008 and has recently overseen the construction of a large elementary and High schools,provision of water and sanitation,schools feeding programs,sustainable agricultural projects on the grounds. VICDA is currently overseeing the construction of more schools and other projects for these residents but, in the meantime, much needed medical care is provided by donated travelling Medical Camps
