Community digital educator in Kenya
NGO MONDO
CIVS COMMUNITY SERVICE
NAIROBI, Kenya
Descriere
This innovative project, led by CIVS Kenya in partnership with MONDO, takes place at key resource centers in the Kano Plains region of Kisumu County, specifically Nyakach and Kuth Awendo. These centers serve as vital community development hubs offering ICT training, climate-smart agriculture, early childhood education, and more. Addressing a critical digital skills gap especially among youth and vulnerable children the project aims to boost employability and resilience by enhancing digital literacy. These skills are essential to unlocking new educational and career opportunities in an area facing growing challenges from climate change.
Cazare, hrană și transport
Volunteers will stay in a shared, comfortably furnished apartment with basic kitchen and bathroom facilities. Electricity and water are generally reliable but may occasionally be interrupted, enhancing immersion in local life. Volunteers will learn traditional hand-washing of clothes with guidance from local mentors and prepare their own meals. Transport to project sites is by motorcycle, while trips to markets or Kisumu City use public minibuses. Volunteers are responsible for managing their personal transportation.
