Kenya Youth Hostels Volunteers.

Dec. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- Women Empowerment &Elimination of FMG
Volunteers work in a rescue centre which accommodates women and girls rescued from forced marriages and those rescued from forced Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) practices within the communities that practice among the Maasai,Turkana,Samburu to mention but a few.
Volunteers teach girls the importance of being a woman in a society where they are highly undervalued. Women and girls are also taught hygiene, nutrition, small business skills etc.
The women at the rescue centers are smart and passionate. They are ready to educate their children, nurture their families and change their communities by engaging in small business projects, getting educated etc. Their passion and dedication will impress you. You will also be encouraged by their stories. Eg help in enhancing the status of some tribes like Masai people and the Masai tribe in society.

Program description
A large number of poor and disadvantaged children without homes are given refuge in orphanages and shelter homes being run by various non government organizations throughout the world.

These are distressed children who come from difficult circumstances that detach them from the joys of childhood. These orphans require love, care, affection warmth and education. Volunteers working in our ‘Help The Orphans’ program Kenya, Uganda ,Ruanda,Burudi Ethiopia ,Congo, Sudan and Malawi among other African countries will provide support to the underprivileged and uncared for children to alleviate their suffering by helping them live a dignified life . We do this by supporting the work of local community organization in Kenya through the placement of international volunteers.

Orphans are deprived of many opportunities necessary for their development. Volunteers can help them fill this void in their lives by assisting the staff in the orphanage in organizing educational tours ,playing indoor and outdoor games ,teaching them English ,giving them basic computer knowledge and educate the young kids in a play way method. Volunteers can give tips to the kids about personal hygiene and help them in keeping their premises spic and span. They also help the children with their homework and prepare them for school.

Your little help can be of great significance for these children, helping to make their present secure and future promising. Spend time with them. Receive their warmth and affection. Tell them stories. Share their dreams. Working in an orphanage is a truly fulfilling and enriching experiences.
