Help us create brighter future for young people in our community

About the experience in: Nairobi, Kenya

United Kingdom

I spend 3 weeks in Soweto working with both SYI and UCL. I can truly say these organisation are having an enormous impact on the community of Soweto. Helping hundreds of kids into education and providing a safe space for those who aren't yet in school. The team of staff and volunteers are truly amazing, working hard everyday for these kids. Bonface was an excellent host, always making me feel welcome and cooking delicious food. The environment in the slum can be overwhelming at first but if you take your time to adjust and have an open mind you will be fine! I will miss you Soweto 🥺❤️

We are truly grateful for Abi’s time, commitment, and remarkable dedication during her volunteer work with our organization. She brought enthusiasm, care, and professionalism to every task, making a strong impact through the mental health program, girls’ empowerment initiative, and home and school visits. Her empathy, consistency, and ability to genuinely connect with the community left a lasting impression on both our team and those she served. Thank you, Abi!
