Grenzenlos
Grenzenlos is a non-profit and independent association based in Vienna which started in 1949. It specializes in promoting intercultural and social engagements through volunteering programs that aim at being limitless in increasing the understanding and respect of cultures, social diversity, and volunteering as a basis of global peace. As the name suggests in English 'without border/limit', Grenzenlos is against any kind of discrimination; age, origin, disability, political view, sexual orientation, etc thus not limiting anyone to take part in their volunteering programs.

"I came here with a friend for volunteering for 5 Weeks. We lived in a very nice host family near the office of CIVS. Two weeks we worked in the MMM Mukuru in Nairobi and other two weeks we worked in a small hospital in Oriang. During weekends we had the possibility to make trips and get in touch with the Kenyan cultures. The whole time was a unforgettable experience. I would like to come back again."
-
"I am so excited of this experience and I recommend it to other people for sure. The local people are so nice, gentle and ready to help in every way they can. Africa is the best place to learn about the life to learn how to survive in bad conditions and is the best place to know about happiness, how small, little things could make someone happy. CIVS is a well organized organization."
-
"To be honest I loved my experience in Kenya for many reasons. First of all, because me and my Kenyan friends improved the project. That's why, for the first time in my life I was very useful. Secondly, I improved a bit my English. Then, nothing wrong happened to me. Finally, I'm going back to France with a lot of good memories and I want to come back to Ahero to achieve others aims, ideas, and projects."
-
"One of the best experiences of my life, I built a strong friendship and relationship with all the local volunteers at the project and enjoyed every single moment that I spent with them. Working closely with them especially in the farm was a lot of fun. Also the time spent all together in the evenings and on weekends was great and I will keep with me many great memories. I already miss Ahero and all the people there. I leave there a piece of my heart!"
-
"Thank you so much for giving me this wonderful experience. I think I discovered Kenya and its people by the better way : volunteering. I'm happy of being able to help you in your project and it's so greatful to see the ICT students graduating thanks to the few skills I could give them. I came thinking about becoming a humanitarian personelle after my studies, now I'm sure about it. So thank you so much, I'll never forget this experience."
