Orphanage Volunteering in Kenya, Africa Based in the vibrant city of Mombasa, East Africa this project takes you to the Bombolulu slum where urban migrant and disadvantaged communities live next to the up market residences of Nyali. At a children's centre you work alongside volunteer teachers providing education to the most vulnerable children, improving literacy, supporting counseling, environmental and social awareness. Out of school arts and sports programs help combat social pressures that lead to substance abuse and crime.
