Volunteers house was really nice, meet other internacional Volunteers and Jaon took care of our meal, Joshua was lovely and all his team, the kids were adorable, my favorite part was playing with them. Hope I have the chance to come back in the future and see how they are growing ❤️

Life-changing experience at SYI, an organisation that is sincerely committed to creating hope, perspective and positive change for every person in its community. I learned a lot from the heart-touching children, the dedicated volunteers and the inspiring activities there. A special thanks to Joshua who was an angel, made me feel supported and at home from the very beginning. This is an experience that I will never forget and am sincerely grateful for.

I spent two full weeks at SYI and truly enjoyed being around the kids. I taught them different languages, played games together, learned some basic sign language, and spent meaningful time with them. It was both challenging and rewarding. The team was welcoming and the family at the guesthouse made me feel at home.

The experience at SYI was amazing. It is an organization that makes a difference, always helping those in need. I felt welcome right away, both by Joshua, who picked me up at the airport, and by Joan, who delighted me with her dishes; but above all I felt welcome by the children, who were very friendly and kind, creating real good relationships with them. I want to thank SYI for the hospitality and the opportunity, hoping to return as soon as possible.

My time at SYI was extremely valuable and I can't wait to return! From the moment I arrived, I truly felt welcomed and at home. Thank you to everyone at the organization who made this experience comfortable and memorable for me, as well as Joan at the guesthouse for her delicious cooking and hospitality. I spent a month here and could stay even longer. It only took me a few days to adjust to the culture and life here, but once I did, I felt extremely immersed in a way I otherwise would not have. The organization is run so well with fantastic leadership and local volunteers. Thank you SYI!!

Volunteering at the project in Kenya was an amazing and transformative experience. The organization is very flexible and gives you the freedom to create projects that matter to you and the community. I was able to organize a fundraising campaign that helped send children to school and also lead a Girls' Empowerment session with the girls. The team is welcoming, supportive, and open to new ideas. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to make a real impact while learning and growing at the same time.

SYI was an amazing experience. The kids are so joyful and their energy is contagious. Volunteers have a lot of autonomy to do whatever the project they want. The accommodation was clean and safe. You're really immersed in the local culture and community, it was an eye-opening experience. I had a great time and grew close with the other volunteers as well!

This experience was really special. You get as close as possible to living a local life in Nairobi and truly see different sides of life here. I spent 2 weeks here, and gained so much knowledge about life in the slums and in Nairobi. I had so many great experiences and made wonderful friendships. I can really recommend this if you are looking for an authentic experience of life in Kenya

My time volunteering with SYI was stimulating, memorable, and extremely enjoyable. Helping out at the organisation, the hospital, and the local schools is an authentic, eye opening experience which is challenging, albeit rewarding. I'm grateful to have met and shared my time with numerous fellow travellers from all over the world. Big thank you to Joshua (and rest of the team), he is really caring, understanding and works hard to ensure the best experience for the volunteers. I would highly recommend the project, it is a big family!!
