Sustainability & Climate Resilience Advisor
NGO MONDO
CIVS COMMUNITY SERVICE
NAIROBI, Кения
Описание
The project, implemented by CIVS Kenya, will be carried out at two Resource Centers located in Nyakach and Kuth Awendo in the Kano Plains of Kisumu County. This region is largely dependent on agriculture as the main source of livelihood, yet it is frequently affected by seasonal flooding, which significantly impacts food security and economic stability. In response to these challenges, the BRIDGE project will place strong emphasis on environmental resilience and sustainability. Volunteers will work with community members to raise awareness on climate change adaptation, promote climate-smart agricultural practices, and lead tree planting campaigns. These activities are aimed at reducing the environmental impact of flooding, restoring degraded land, and improving long-term agricultural productivity. Volunteers will also help organize community workshops and school outreach programs to educate both youth and adults on sustainable land use, soil and water conservation.
Настаняване, хранене и транспорт
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.
