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 stay at SYI in Kahawa West was truly eye-opening. Living and working in the heart of the slum allowed me to see life from a new perspective. The community and the kids are super kind and welcoming. The SYI team welcomed me with open arms and I felt supported and included from day one. I also had an amazing time with the other volunteers . We shared meaningful experiences, laughs and memories I'll carry with me for a long time. If you're open-minded, flexible and want to grow personally while making a small impact, I can truly recommend this experience. I wish I could have stayed longer!

My experience in SYI was just incredible! The organization itself works very well, aiming to provide quality education and food supply to children in Kahawa West, Nairobi. They helped me with everything needed and were an amazing host for all of the volunteers! I would definetely recommend everyone to go volunteer with SYI, it was a pleasure!

I spent two weeks at the project, It was a very impactful and life changing experience. Joshua is a nice host that immediately solved a problem I found on my first day, Lori and Laurence that hosted me are the kindest people that you can find and I will truly miss our nice moment's togheder with the moments I spent with the kids. A special thanks even to Sancho, Adam, Sam, Agnes, Toni and all the other friendly people working there with a big smile on their faces. I'll truly miss you.

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!
