Our vision

Everyone in this world seeks to make a difference. Making a difference in a world which is as connected as ours is only possible if we try to understand and embrace other cultures as they are. All over the world, voluntary service has been highlighted as the most impactful venture to make people experience and appreciate different cultures and traditions.

It is from that same spirit that the Kenia Voluntary Service Organization was formed — to offer a platform to those seeking a way to learn from and contribute to the lives of the people in the communities they serve.

"Making a difference in a world which is as connected as ours is only possible if we try to understand and embrace other cultures as they are."

KVSO mission
Our mission

Promoting peace through volunteerism.

KVSO was founded to give an opportunity to all those who want to explore the enriching field of volunteering. Our mission is to promote peace, intercultural exchange and sustainable development through volunteerism. We truly believe each person has something to bring in the process of sharing, discovering and promoting cultures.

Our team and all our partners are involved in this wish to make things better through volunteering, and to give all of us the chance to make a step towards action, change and empowerment. Our community-based association encourages local communities to consider their responsibility in their own development, and aims to support this development through new projects, partnerships and volunteering actions.
