My experience was life changing and I will never forget theses kids. They are more special than what I am able to describe in words and I will be back for sure. Africa isn't easy for someone who has known privileges and this trip is definitely not for everyone, but for anyone who loves kids and want to get to know Kenya, I would advise to go and try to help and learn as much as possible. The staff at the children's home made me feel welcome and secure. Thank you. I already miss you.

The organization is incredible!!! I went for almost 2 weeks but I regret of spending so short. I had to come back to Colombia, but next time I will definitely spend more time. The kids are amazing, they live very happy, are respectful and collaborative. The staff is very kind and da really good job with the kids. Going there is for sure an experience full of love and lessons. I loved this place and I hope I can go back soon.

It has been an incredibly personal experience! I highly recommend it for people having a project to be done there, during the week, when children are at school there are not a lot of things to be done. Kids are very nice! I cannot thank enough the staff to take care of me and make me learn a lot of things about their culture. Thank you very much for everything!

MEI does a great job providing a safe, stable place for the children. The children are less stressed in life and can focus on being a child and doing well in school. They don't go hungry, they have clean clothes, a roof over their head and a support system in place. The children are well behaved and have great personalities! Keep up the great work! As a volunteer, I helped with laundry, washing dishes, preparing meals, cleaning rooms and revision classes. The children are gone from 7am-4pm and you have free time from 11pm-4pm. I would suggest bringing something to do during that time.

Wel, i can say it was the best experience I ever had! The kids are amazing! The around it is beautiful and it's not a dangerous place. The staff is nice people! the organization it is a incredible opportunity to the kids develop more. They have a safety and family place to live and learn. The owner it is a very open person. He accept suggestions and like to talk about our perceptions about the place. It was a very unic experience! I hope you can go there to help and be helped.

Fui surpreendida ao passar os 30 dias mais especiais e transformadores da minha vida. É realmente na simplicidade que encontramos as melhores e mais profundas respostas, foi no sorriso de cada uma dessas pessoas, foi na rotina de lavar roupas e admirar a natureza, foi no silencio de um céu estrelado em Makuyu que encontrei o que precisava e me reconectei comigo e com minha essência. Se eu puder humildemente te dar um conselho é VIVA ISSO, vá de coração aberto, sem expectativas e com muito amor para compartilhar <3 Makuyu estará pra sempre no meu coração e nas minhas orações, espero voltar.
