La experiencia en SYI fue buena. Recomiendo que si quieres ayudar en algo en concreto tomes la iniciativa y propongas las tareas para poder centrar más tu voluntariado :) Es una zona donde ves la realidad del país.

Ha sido una experiencia muy bonita, a pesar de la cantidad enorme de niños, hay organización y siempre había algo que hacer. Recomiendo vivir día a día en el slum, estuve en casa de Conie, donde fue más personal la experiencia, y se aprende mucho más de la maravillosa cultura keniana. Con Joshua y todo el equipo también genial, hacen una labor increíble. A experience everyone should have. My experience was simply amazing. I have instantly like home away from home. Everyone at la organización has always been kind. friendly and willing to help. I have had a wonderful experience!

Cuando llegué a la organización aún no sabía muy bien que entorno iba a encontrarme; la vida aquí,dentro del slum,es muy diferente a mi día a día en España. Pero he de decir que no me costó mucho adaptarme ,todo el mundo me lo puso muy fácil, además tuve la suerte de coincidir con dos voluntarios españoles. He podido vivir con una familia su día a día,cocinar comida típica y ser una más. Detrás de este gran proyecto hay gente maravillosa y muy unida que velan los unos por los otros para ayudar a la comunidad. Son una gran familia. Creo 100% en la labor que realizan.

Miriam is a highly dedicated, hardworking, focused open and ready to learn. Her performance on the duties allocated in the project was outstanding.
She is highly reliable and a good team player, based on my experience with her, I wholeheartedly recommend her for any future volunteering opportunities.
She is fun and loves kids a lot.
Welcome back Miriam!

My experience with SYI was nothing else than amazing! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this NGO is doing incredible meaningful work in the heart of the project slums. Their commitment to uplifting children and families through education, health and community engagement is truly inspiring. I had the opportunity to work alongside the team in the public and private school, local health centre and at the heart of it all the SYI community centre. It was an absolute honour to support their mission and contribute to this movement of positive change and would recommend it to all!

We stayed for 2 weeks at SYI! This was a life-changing experience! From the very beginning we felt at home—thank you Joshua and team! During at our stay, we had the chance to help out in different areas: at SYI itself, at both public and private schools, and even at the health centre. Each place gave us a different perspective and taught us so much! It felt amazing to support the local community in various ways. Our accommodation was very comfortable and a special shoutout goes to Ruth who spoiled us with her delicious cooking. We love to come back! Asante sana SYI family!

The project was my first experience in Africa, and I'm so glad that it made such a great first impression! Joshua was a very communicative and kind host, the accommodation and food was amazing, and I learned so much about life in the slum and how a little money, time, and love really can go a long way for a lot of these people. I got to help out in the local public and private schools, the medical centre where I helped perform checkups on babies, and the slum where I got to play with the kids and even lead a mental health talk! A lot of stuff to do, so a great experience for anyone!

My time at SYI was really great! Their commitment to provide a better life for the kids and the people in the slum is deeply significant. 👏🏼🙌🏼 My day schedule was very ballanced, you have a good time focused on the project, as well as you have enough free time to relax, explore or do things on your own. I am especially amazed by the local staff who contribute with all their passions and gifts, to keep this place running.. The boys there (Toni, Sanches, John, Sam) are truly a vibe ♥️😀 and I will miss them. Hope to be back here !!

The time I spent at SYI was truly amazing! This organization is everything they are portraying and more. The leadership is doing everything they can to make the project as helpful to the community as possible, and the local volunteers were so helpful and welcoming that I couldn't help but feel at home. The kids you get to interact with on a daily basis at this place are some of the most wonderful, sweet, and open kids I have ever met, and they all have a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone here who made my time there so special, I'm going to miss you all <3

Mu two weeks at Soveto the project were unforgettable. I joined them to shoot a documentary, and from day one, I was welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. The team's dedication to empowering their community is truly inspiring and it was an honour to capture their stories and impact. Beyond the project what stood out was the kindness of everyone involved. I made genuine some connections. If you're looking for a meaningful collaboration or a chance to witness community driven change, Soveto the project is the place to. Highly recommended!
