About Program
Join our impactful Special Education Volunteering Program at Dymphna School, dedicated to children with disabilities and special needs. In partnership with Amani Hostel, this initiative provides vital education and care to students aged 3 to 25, many of whom face social exclusion.
As a volunteer, you will teach essential subjects like English, Math, Swahili, and Music, while also engaging students in art, design, and recreational activities. Beyond the classroom, volunteers assist with home visits, day trips, counseling, school improvement projects, and fundraising efforts.
