The school was founded in 2016 and the pupils enrolment is 444 pupils, 226 boys and 218 girls. The school has 15 teachers teaching right from the early childhood education, primary school and junior primary school. The school has 6 permanent and 4 semi-permanent classrooms, staffroom and an administration block. The school is located on 0.9 acres that has adequate room for expansion. It is located in a densely populated area in Vihiga county of Western Kenya, an area that receives rainfall throughout the year and hence the local community members are food sufficient as the communal land is utilized for small-scale agriculture that is the foremost economic driver of the people at the grassroots. THEME: Girl child education Girls’ education goes beyond getting girls into school. It is also about ensuring that girls learn and feel safe while in school; complete all levels of education with the skills to effectively compete in the labor market; learn the socio-emotional and life skills necessary to navigate and adapt to a changing world; make decisions about their own lives; and contribute to their communities and the world. Girls’ education is a strategic development priority. Better-educated women tend to be healthier, participate more in the formal labor market, earn higher incomes, have fewer children, marry at a later age, and enable better health care and education for their children, should they choose to become mothers. All these factors combined can help lift households, communities, and nations out of poverty. According to UNESCO estimates, 130 million girls between the age of 6 and 17 are out of school and 15 million girls of primary-school age— half of them in sub-Saharan Africa— will never enter a classroom. Poverty remains the most important factor for determining whether a girl can access an education. For example, in Nigeria, only 4 percent of poor young women in the North West zone can read, compared with 99 percent of rich young women in the South East. Studies consistently reinforce that girls who face multiple disadvantages — such as low family income, living in remote or underserved locations, disability or belonging to a minority ethno-linguistic group — are farthest behind in terms of access to and completion of education. Violence also negatively impact access to education and a safe environment for learning. For example, in Haiti, recent research highlights that one in three Haitian women (ages 15 to 49) has experienced physical and/or sexual violence, and that of women who received money for sex before turning 18 years old, 27 percent reported schools to be the most common location for solicitation. Child marriage is also a critical challenge. Child brides are much more likely to drop out of school and complete fewer years of education than their peers who marry later. This affects the education and health of their children, as well as their ability to earn a living. According to a recent report, more than 41,000 girls under the age of 18 marry every day and putting an end to the practice would increase women’s expected educational attainment, and with it, their potential earnings. According to estimates, ending child marriage could generate more than $500 billion in benefits annually each year Every day, girls face barriers to education caused by poverty, cultural norms and practices, poor infrastructure, violence, and fragility. The WBG has joined with governments, civil society organizations, multilateral organization, the private sector, and donors to advance multi-sectoral approaches to overcome these challenges. Working together with girls and women, the WBG focus includes: Providing conditional cash transfers, stipends or scholarships; Reducing distance to school; Targeting boys and men to be a part of discussions about cultural and societal practices; Ensuring gender-sensitive curricula and pedagogies; Hiring and training qualified female teachers; Building safe and inclusive learning environments for girls and young women; Ending child/early marriage; and Addressing violence against girls and women

Newstar Drama Group was founded in 1993 at Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) Nairobi and was registered in 1996 by the Ministry of Culture and Social services. The group is a traveling theatre group that has performed at many high schools, universities, colleges, primary schools, social forums and Kenya National Theatre. Newstar is a member of International Drama/Theatre and Education Association (IDEA). THEME: REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH EDUCATION, PROMOTION OF GENDER EQUALITY AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT Gender equality implies a society in which women and men enjoy the same opportunities, outcomes, rights and obligations in all spheres of life. Equality between men and women exists when both sexes are able to share equally in the distribution of power and influence; have equal opportunities for financial independence through work or through setting up businesses; enjoy equal access to education and the opportunity to develop personal ambitions. A critical aspect of promoting gender equality is the empowerment of women, with a focus on identifying and redressing power imbalances and giving women more autonomy to manage their own lives. Women's empowerment is vital to sustainable development and the realization of human rights for all. The project aims to empower the women to actively continue with the struggle to enhance their capacities and ultimately take the lead in community development. This takes cognizance of the fact that despite being overrun by pro-men cultural foundations, women remain the pillar of families and the most vulnerable gender in the current societal set-up.
Volunteers will work for six hours daily from Monday to Friday. Manual work and Intercultural activities: Newstar Drama Group office work. Performing arts training. Live drama performances. Mentorship for artistes. Promotional activities including marketing theatre productions. Submit project report to KVDA.

Happy Me Happy You is a community-based organization set up to break the cycle of poverty in communities in Western Kenya. The group is passionate not only to support beneficiaries but enhancing the program at the grassroots to make the difference. The CBO has children as the priority with the number of students growing rapidly. The majority of the children are orphans who have grown up in extreme poverty with food scarcity By supplementing their nutritional needs, providing clean water and other basic necessities, the CBO is dedicated to provide a conducive environment for learning. The CBO supports parents and guardians to break the cycle of poverty in the community through food supplies, water filters, seedlings and generally enhancing the food security situation.

Espace Agro-Ecologique est un lieu où l’on vient apprendre, se ressourcer, rencontrer et partager. C’est une initiative de l’ONG ASTOVOT depuis plusieurs années pour promouvoir l’agroécologie et la sauvegarde de la biodiversité. Cette petite ferme situé dans un milieu très arboré avec une petite rivière à proximité permet d’exploiter une parcelle de maraîchage, où une diversité de légumes bio est cultivée pour la consommation locale. Chaque été, les séjours d’immersion permettent de rendre accessible à toutes, les techniques et pratiques de l’agroécologie à l’échelle d’un jardin. Ce chantier de volontariat est devenu au fil des ans un véritable programme de solidarité visant à sensibiliser et transmettre concrètement les valeurs et techniques agroécologies aux volontaires nationaux et internationaux.
TACHES A FAIRE POUR LES VOLONTAIRES : Fabrication des planches, pépinière, binage ; de compost ; Repiquage des jeunes plants, arrosage des semis ; Renforcer la clôture du jardin avec les bambous ; Construction d’une paillote en paille et en bambou pour la détente et la conservation des outils et produits ; Organisation des activités pédagogiques dans le jardin avec les enfants ;
L’ONG Association Togolaise des Volontaires au Travail (ASTOVOT) a plus de 60 ans d’expérience dans le service volontaire international. Chaque année, elle accueille de nombreux volontaires venant des quatre coins du monde sur ses différents projets de volontariat court, moyen et long terme (3 semaines à 12 mois) au Togo. Ces projets permettent aux volontaires nationaux environ deux cents (200) de côtoyer les volontaires internationaux et de créer un réel échange interculturel tout au long de l’année. Membre du Comité de Coordination du Service Volontaire International (CCSVI- UNESCO) et de Network of Africa Voluntary Organisations (NAVO), ASTOVOT est en partenariat avec plusieurs organisations du volontariat en Europe, en Asie, Aux Etats Unis, au Canada et en Afrique. Ses projets portent surtout sur le développement communautaire à travers la promotion de l’éducation et de la citoyenneté, la santé, le social, la protection de l’environnement et l’apprentissage interculturel, la rénovation et la construction des infrastructures sociocollectives.
Lieu du projet : Kpalimé (Togo) Kpalimé se situe à environ 1h30 de route de Lomé et se trouve dans un environnement naturel de toute beauté. Localisé dans le Sud-Ouest du Togo, la zone qui entoure la ville est luxuriante et fertile, encerclée par des collines aux bois épais, des vallées profondes et de petits villages paysans. Kpalimé est également le plus important centre artisanal du pays où se sont installés un très grand nombre d'artistes et artisans : sculpteurs sur bois, batikeur, potiers, tisserands, calebassiers, Les nombreuses balades et randonnées "nature" conduisent au travers des sentiers à la découverte de la vie quotidienne des populations locales qui vivent essentiellement de l'agriculture. LOISIRS En marge des activités principales du chantier, plusieurs autres activités sont organisées comme : les balades de découverte, les randonnées, des sorties festives, les rencontres culturelles. Ces activités permettent aux volontaires de rentrer en contact avec les populations locales mais aussi de découvrir la culture togolaise. Pendant les week-ends les excursions collectives sont organisées par les volontaires et leurs animateurs pour découvrir les sites touristiques de la région où se déroule le chantier. Il est à noter que les dépenses liées aux excursions et aux sorties des volontaires ne sont pas inclues dans les frais de participation.
HÉBERGEMENT Les conditions de logement sont généralement rudimentaires, simples et spécifiques par rapport au lieu de la réalisation du projet. Sur place, les volontaires sont logés par groupe de trois ou quatre personnes par chambre. La mixité par chambre dépend de l’organisation collective des volontaires eux-mêmes. Selon certains lieux, les volontaires peuvent utiliser des toilettes sèches et des douches sans l’eau à l’intérieur. L’association met à la disponibilité des volontaires des nattes en plastique ou en mousse. Les volontaires qui ont des sacs de couchage peuvent les apporter avec eux si c’est possible. Accès à l’eau potable sur le chantier. Par contre l’accès à l’électricité et à l’Internet peut être limité. Cela est dû respectivement au délestage et aux difficultés d’accès au réseau internet. NOURRITURE Durant tout le chantier, ce sont les volontaires eux-mêmes qui prépareront leurs propres repas. Une organisation interne permettra de créer des groupes qui s’alterneront pour vaquer aux différentes tâches domestiques y compris la cuisine. Les produits alimentaires utilisés pour la cuisine sont importés, locaux et parfois bio. Le régime alimentaire de chaque volontaire sera pris en compte dans la préparation des repas. Les volontaires auront accès aux fruits tropicaux comme les bananes, oranges,ananas, mangues, avocats, papayes...etc.

The School is still at the initial stages started in 2012 under Nyamosense Primary School and Nyamosense Catholic Church. The management is in the process of registering the institution with the Ministry of Social Services in Kubwaha. The inhabitants are Kuria speaking people residing in the South West of Kenya. Their economic mainstay is farming, where farmers grow tobacco, maize, beans, sweet potatoes and other horticultural crops for sale. Cattle and goat trade also take place but the volume of trade has gone very low owing to the incessant cases of cattle rustling between the Kuria people and the Maasai and Kipsigis of the neighboring Trans Mara district. The area has low levels of literacy especially among people aged from 35 years and above. THEME: RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: “The duty to Protect, Respect, Promote and Fulfill” People with disabilities faces a myriad of challenges and most of them are kept in the dark and never discussed. The society out of misinformation choose to segregate them and in some cases denying those basic rights, such as the right to education, right to socialize with other people and the attendant stigma that takes a psychological toll on the victims. People with disabilities are the most marginalized and vulnerable group in Kenya. They are often abused, exploited and excluded by society, denying them of their right to health, protection and education. The work camp provides an opportunity for all actors to renew their commitments towards improving the plight of marginalized and vulnerable by organizing activities aimed at including people with disabilities hence actively integrating them into the community development spectrum. There is a lot of stigma within communities towards homes and institutions with people with disabilities. The public needs to know that they can be useful citizens in the future and also contribute towards the development of the country. Because of the continued stigma, parents often hide their children and deny them their rights, thinking they are totally helpless. Volunteers together with community members and people with disability will create forums where the local will be enlightened and enabled to understand that “Disability is not inability”. The volunteers will work together with members of the local community to address the issue of stigma and access to basic facilities and the place of children with disabilities in the contemporary world
Manual work and Intercultural activities: Teaching pupils at the Special Unit School Care and support of orphans Interacting with children with disabilities Learn how to use sign language Brick making together with local community members Open forums for discussion on children rights Study lessons on retrogressive cultural practices like Female Genital Mutilation

Kuria, Migori County, South West Kenya Airport pick-up services: The port of entry to Kenya is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. Airport pick up will be done on provision of full flight details. Volunteers will stay at Nairobi South YMCA Hostel at a subsidized fees ahead of their project placement. EDUCATIONAL TOURS KVDA offers educational tours to spectacular sites including the renowned Maasai Mara Game Reserve at separate fees. Please contact us for specific tour information.
ACCOMMODATION AND MEALS Volunteers will stay in a homestead with very basic living conditions. Volunteers have an obligation to climb down the level of the people with the aim of exposure to development challenges. KVDA will provide foodstuffs and volunteers will cook their own meals in turns. Water is available from springs and it is recommended that drinking water should be boiled or medicated. Mineral water available at supermarkets is also recommended. There is no electricity connection at the project but volunteers can charge their electric appliances at the nearest market center. However, the Government policy to install ICT in primary schools has seen connectivity to the national power grid for most educational institutions in Kenya and this makes it easy for volunteers to use electric appliances while at the project. Furthermore, we invite you to bring typical food, spices, drinks, games and music from your country (for an intercultural evening) – and a lot of motivation!

Depuis plusieurs années ASTOVOT s’est investi dans la mise en place des équipements socio-collectifs notamment la construction des mini-bibliothèques dans les communautés locales où elle intervient. L’une des bibliothèques appelée « Agbalényo », c’est-à-dire « savoir est bon » en Ewé (langue locale) et qui se trouve au siège de l’association nécessite de la rénovation et du réaménagement.L’objectif de ce camp chantier est d’aménager l’intérieur de cette petite bibliothèque pour la rendre attrayante et confortable pour les enfants et les jeunes du quartier Zomayi. C’est une bibliothèque qui accueille chaque semaine plus d’une soixantaine d’enfants. La rénovation sera secondée des activités socio-éducatives les après-midis pour mettre aux volontaires qui travailleront sur ce camp chantier de côtoyer les enfants du quartier qui viennent quotidiennement participer aux activités proposées par cette bibliothèque.
TACHES A FAIRE POUR LES VOLONTAIRES : Vider la bibliothèque : faire sortir les mobiliers et les livres ; Aider le maçon dans les travaux du revêtement et du carrelage du sol ; §Peindre l’intérieur de la bibliothèque : choix des peintures, ponçage des murs, badigeon, peinture, décoration, nettoyage ; Réaménager la bibliothèque après les travaux : Installation, disposition, entretien et réparation Organisation et mobilisation des enfants autours des activités socio-éducatives et loisirs proposés ;
L’ONG Association Togolaise des Volontaires au Travail (ASTOVOT) a plus de 60 ans d’expérience dans le service volontaire international. Chaque année, elle accueille de nombreux volontaires venant des quatre coins du monde sur ses différents projets de volontariat court, moyen et long terme (3 semaines à 12 mois) au Togo. Ces projets permettent aux volontaires nationaux environ deux cents (200) de côtoyer les volontaires internationaux et de créer un réel échange interculturel tout au long de l’année. Membre du Comité de Coordination du Service Volontaire International (CCSVI- UNESCO) et de Network of Africa Voluntary Organisations (NAVO), ASTOVOT est en partenariat avec plusieurs organisations du volontariat en Europe, en Asie, Aux Etats Unis, au Canada et en Afrique. Ses projets portent surtout sur le développement communautaire à travers la promotion de l’éducation et de la citoyenneté, la santé, le social, la protection de l’environnement et l’apprentissage interculturel, la rénovation et la construction des infrastructures sociocollectives.
Lieu du projet : Kpalimé (Togo) Lieu du projet : Kpalimé (Togo) Kpalimé se situe à environ 1h30 de route de Lomé et se trouve dans un environnement naturel de toute beauté. Localisé dans le Sud-Ouest du Togo, la zone qui entoure la ville est luxuriante et fertile, encerclée par des collines aux bois épais, des vallées profondes et de petits villages paysans. Kpalimé est également le plus important centre artisanal du pays où se sont installés un très grand nombre d'artistes et artisans : sculpteurs sur bois, batikeur, potiers, tisserands, calebassiers, Les nombreuses balades et randonnées "nature" conduisent au travers des sentiers à la découverte de la vie quotidienne des populations locales qui vivent essentiellement de l'agriculture. LOISIRS En marge des activités principales du chantier, plusieurs autres activités sont organisées comme : les balades de découverte, les randonnées, des sorties festives, les rencontres culturelles. Ces activités permettent aux volontaires de rentrer en contact avec les populations locales mais aussi de découvrir la culture togolaise. Pendant les week-ends les excursions collectives sont organisées par les volontaires et leurs animateurs pour découvrir les sites touristiques de la région où se déroule le chantier. Il est à noter que les dépenses liées aux excursions et aux sorties des volontaires ne sont pas inclues dans les frais de participation.
HÉBERGEMENT Les conditions de logement sont généralement rudimentaires, simples et spécifiques par rapport au lieu de la réalisation du projet. Sur place, les volontaires sont logés par groupe de trois ou quatre personnes par chambre. La mixité par chambre dépend de l’organisation collective des volontaires eux-mêmes. Selon certains lieux, les volontaires peuvent utiliser des toilettes sèches et des douches sans l’eau à l’intérieur. L’association met à la disponibilité des volontaires des nattes en plastique ou en mousse. Les volontaires qui ont des sacs de couchage peuvent les apporter avec eux si c’est possible. Accès à l’eau potable sur le chantier. Par contre l’accès à l’électricité et à l’Internet peut être limité. Cela est dû respectivement au délestage et aux difficultés d’accès au réseau internet. NOURRITURE Durant tout le chantier, ce sont les volontaires eux-mêmes qui prépareront leurs propres repas. Une organisation interne permettra de créer des groupes qui s’alterneront pour vaquer aux différentes tâches domestiques y compris la cuisine. Les produits alimentaires utilisés pour la cuisine sont importés, locaux et parfois bio. Le régime alimentaire de chaque volontaire sera pris en compte dans la préparation des repas. Les volontaires auront accès aux fruits tropicaux comme les bananes, oranges,ananas, mangues, avocats, papayes...etc.
