Inquire about the trip

Your team member fee of $3285.00 includes round trip international airfare from most major cities worldwide. Your team will help with light construction at two schools for disabled students in a primitive area of Kenya. And this group will also help build a dormitory there and a new classroom at a secondary school in a slum. We'll also be involved in helping to fund and erect a fresh water project at a newly-founded secondary school for orphans just outside of Kakamega in Western Province. We provide the training, you provide the dirty hands and clothes and all the love that goes with it! This is definitely a work trip but whenever possible, we'll venture out to see Lake Victoria, the Equator, and one of the famous Kenya game parks. This trip will change your life!

What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

See Bananas Walk!

This mission trip is open to everyone! Your trip fee of $3285.00 includes round trip international airfare from most major cities worldwide. The team member fee also helps some to offset the costs of the materials related to the projects we serve. Your fee also includes most of your meals, ground transportation, in-country air travel, and secure host and hotel lodging.

You will help with light construction on a much-needed dormitory for disabled students at a Special Needs school in rural Kenya. You will also be helping to create walkways for disabled students and their wheelchairs. The schools need more dorm space and the dorms they have need more mosquito nets so you'll help provide and install these too. One of the schools needs a classroom built and you and your team will also help with some of the block making and mix cement to put the walls together…you will really be doing this! And no experience is necessary and there is no shortage of children and even older students with whom you can make friends. We'll teach you everything you will need to do; everyone takes part! You will be part the Jesus-serving Team that helps these communities make changes at their schools to meet the mounting challenges in medicine, equality, and even economic reform. We will also visit several other schools to offer encouragement and assess their upcoming needs to see how we might help in the future.

You are needed. Think of it…you can be part of projects that change lives, give hope, and offer the saving grace of Jesus to everyone, even if you just wish to share with any of the classes at the schools, play volleyball, basketball, or soccer, visit the grade schools next door, or just hold the greatest kids in the world. You will never forget these experiences!
Even though experience is never required, we could benefit by having those on our team who know a bit about construction, brick work, block work, well drillers, water tank fabricator, Hydroponics, Agroponics, plumbing, solar, concrete workers, electricians, medicine, doctors, nurses, first aid, and other related fields. After all, we don't know everything but have very qualified team leaders to help you learn how to do much of the needed work.

Not all work and no play…this team will take a safari game drive at a national game park to view wild animals in their natural habitat. We'll also do some shopping for souvenirs at the Maasai market and finish our debriefing in Nairobi before going home. Time permitting, we'll do a bit of sightseeing too to places like Lake Victoria or the Equator.
