Hi, my name is Maggie and I have been given the opportunity to travel to Kenya for 4 weeks with school. Throughout my time in Kenya I’ll get involved in a range of projects, helping to support education and community development in two rural communities. I’ll become part of the community and live and work alongside local people, learning about the challenges faced by local people as well as the rich tradition and culture of Kenya.

Many local schools are in very dilapidated buildings which suffer from erosion and seasonal flooding. I’ll help to build or renovate school buildings so that local children have a clean and safe academic environment. I’ll also get involved in initiatives to promote a peaceful co-existence between the community and the local wildlife, such as improving natural waterholes and planting indigenous trees for habitat and food sources.

Muhaka village remains one of the poorest communities in Kenya. I will help to support community development projects such as traditional house building and school improvements. I may also work on our reforestation projects within the sacred Kaya forest, an important habitat home to many species of monkeys.

This trip will take place in the summer of 2027 with an organisation called ‘Camps International’. I would really appreciate any form of donation as this opportunity is truly life-changing for me and others.
