I went with my little sister. It was a very nice experience for both of us. They treated us great, from the first moment we felt like family. Being able to be part of such an important project is an incredible opportunity to get to know a culture. Thank you to all the volunteers for making our stay easier and safer.

Volunteering at the project was amazing! The team was so warm and welcoming as well as super accommodating and they really made us feeling like family. Seeing the children and being greeted with hugs everyday is unbeatable. We got to do so many amazing things within and community and would highly recommend this to anyone!

SYI is truly committed to impact the whole the project Slum. They have different programs to support the community (i.e. food program), they prepare children and teenagers for school, have several initiatives for elder people, to give them specific professional trainings. Everyone in the organization is all the time 100% committed to the cause, with new ideas every day. I was truly amazed by the amount of people present at the organization, all day, every day. Everyone welcomed me and supported me from te first day, accommodating my needs. A big THANKS to all, especially George, Joshua, Jane.

Joshua is an amazing person! I can highly recommend this experience. If it's your first time - you need to be aware of social differences and for this I highly recommend to take extra money or bring gifts as clothes that you want to give away because every help is needed/ welcomed ! I spend 2 Weeks and will come back - I want to help more because the people are just awesome. Joshua makes sure that everything is smoothly but the whole team of people are so friendly and loving. 🤝 DEFINITELY GO FOR IT 🫶🏼

The project is built up of some of the most amazing, genuine, caring people. We stayed for two weeks and definitely couldve stayed longer. Seeing the kids beaming with joy everyday was such a highlight. Our host mother was jane and we literally could not have asked for a better host. She was so loving, caring and welcoming. Joshua made everything so easy from the moment we applied to the project till we left. We cant recommend this project enough. They truly are making a beautiful imapct to the slums of the project and we will remember you all for the rest of our lives. Much love ❤️

Being part of this project was wonderful! Being in a Slum for the first time was one of the most challenging experiences! The organization really helps children and all members are helpful and always ready to help. My Host Family was always very kind and prepared my food, water for my bath and they were always kind! It's a project that I highly recommend. Thank you for everything!

I wasn't sure how I'll feel staying with a host an volunteering in a new continent but the host and the team made feel super welcome and helped me with every problem I had even when it did not relate to the organisation. They were all super sweet and kind and truly made me feel like a part of the family! The children are super sweet as well and welcome you with open arms as soon as you arrive! I loved teaching and playing with them! I truly think this was the best choice I could have made! Forever grateful to SYI and everyone I met while I was there❤️ I'll miss them so much

It was absolutely an amazing experience. The children were so cute and my host Lawrence and his family did everything they could to make me feel home and safe. Joshua was also amazing, he answered so many of my questions and helped me a lot. The children were so cute and for sure it's not an easy experience but it is one that will teach you a lot. If you have any questions do not hesitate to text me on whatshapp +41788049054. Thank you one again to the whole SYI Team I will never forget this new family❤️
