Join our Team!

Come and join us in building schools in Kenya! Each year World of Difference coordinates an expedition to Kenya where volunteers will work side by side with local community members in the slums to build schools, paint, teach, and specialize in community development. Expeditions generally last 2 and a half weeks and cost approximately $3,750 (which includes airfare, in-country accommodations, food, bottled water, transportation, visas, service work on the Maasai Mara, volunteering on the Eastern Coast of Kenya, and, of course, the main project in the slums outside of Nairobi). The price of the expedition is subject to change, depending on airfare. All donations for the expedition are made to World of Difference and are tax deductible.

Cost: The cost of the expedition is $3,750 (subject to change depending on airfare), of which a $300 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of application. This deposit will secure your spot on the expedition.

This expedition will be led by Kindee Dixon and Brie Stewart—who have 13 years of combined experience in Kenya. The team will be starting construction on a new school in a slum area. We will also be visiting past schools we have built to help paint classrooms and add assistance where needed. We will be working hand in hand with locals from the community in the building of the school as well as painting, teaching, and having loads of fun. We will also be working with a number of other orphanages and small projects during the 2+ weeks we are in Kenya.

We will have a chance to get to know the Maasai tribe as we visit and work with a small school in a Maasai village town. We will also go on safari while we are there. Our trip will conclude with a small project on the Eastern Coast of Kenya at a local orphanage as well as some much needed relaxing time on the white sandy beaches. This trip is guaranteed to change your life! We are excited to have you come with us!

Items for donation: As part of the expedition, everyone packs items for donation as part of our luggage. Each of you will carry on all your personal items and fill your two 50 lb. check-on bags with much needed supplies for our project. The supplies should be collected by each expedition participant and do not need to be new. Get your friends, family and community involved!

This year we are looking for soccer balls (with pumps), sports equipment, tools, children’s books (the kids speak English), text books, first-aid items, work gloves, school supplies, paint brushes and rollers.
