Ocean /Beach Clean-Up & Marine Education Assistant

At 54, it was my first time volunteering and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. With UCESCO, everything was well taken care of. I lived in a building with other volunteers, who were btw just amazing!!! Bonding among volunteers was facilitated by shared meals, prepared by a very special local lady, who also supported us in many other ways. This allowed me to focus 100% on the project (teaching in high school). Most UCESCO people I worked with, used to or still live in the slums,  so their involvement is selfless and truly comes from the heart. I have now witnessed first hand how a small NGO works and can highly recommend volunteering with UCESCO. Their work addresses a major problem in Africa, and seeing this work from the ground was an amazing experience.

Each member of UCESCO is a fundamental piece for the organization. Thanks to them, volunteers can feel comfortable and make proposals to contribute to the projects. The organic environment is about work. But also about friendship. The UCESCO family is creating long-term sustainable solutions. Through agreements with different schools, orphanages, and organizations. Without a doubt, volunteering with this organization It is a right decision if what you want is to create an impact on the society of this country

I've had the privilege of being closely associated with UCESCO Africa, and I must say, their NGO management is truly exemplary. UCESCO Africa is an organization that stands out for its commitment to making a positive impact on communities across the continent. Here's why I believe their NGO management deserves a top rating:

Clear Vision and Mission: UCESCO Africa operates with a clear and noble vision of creating a better future for Africa through education, healthcare, and sustainable development. Their mission is not just a statement; it's a driving force that motivates every member of the organization.

Transparency and Accountability: One of the most impressive aspects of UCESCO Africa is its unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability. They go above and beyond to ensure that every donor's contribution is used effectively and efficiently. Their financial reports are readily available for scrutiny, and they provide regular updates on project progress.

Effective Project Management: UCESCO Africa excels in project management. They carefully plan and execute projects, ensuring that resources are utilized optimally. Their teams on the ground are dedicated and passionate about their work, which reflects in the successful outcomes of their initiatives.

Community Engagement: What sets UCESCO Africa apart is its deep engagement with the communities it serves. They don't impose solutions; instead, they collaborate with local communities to understand their needs and co-create sustainable solutions. This approach leads to projects that truly make a difference.

Innovation and Adaptability: UCESCO Africa is not afraid to embrace innovation and adapt to changing circumstances. They are constantly seeking new ways to address complex challenges, leveraging technology and partnerships to maximize their impact.

Empowering Leadership: The leadership at UCESCO Africa is inspirational. Their dedication to the cause, their ability to inspire others, and their tireless efforts to drive positive change are commendable.

A wonderful program with lots of opportunities to improve the life of kids and communities in Kenya. Hard working and kind staff who are always open to suggestions and feedback. Definitely coming back asap to continue working on some of these projects closest to me. The country and the people are simply wonderful. Thanks UCESCO for giving me this opportunity and thanks to all the amazing volunteers I've met and become friends with. Many of my future holidays will consist of visiting Kenya and UCESCO.
