Long-Term Volunteering in Kenya
Toto Angel Center
Toto Angel Center was founded in 2013. It is currently supporting 30 children between 3 – 12 years from a variety of backgrounds. The situation in Kayole Estate where the center is located is characterized by a high poverty rate, low education and marginalization of the community.
Project Profile
Many vulnerable children are neglected and abandoned by their caregivers. Toto angel Center provides a safe place where children can spend the day, get a warm meal, basic education and play. It currently supports 30 children aged between 3 and 12 years from different backgrounds. 22 children are currently enrolled in the center's pre-school group and another 8 are supported in local primary schools with books, tuition, and lunch.

"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."
