My experience volunteering with Saidika Organization was very positive! The team was friendly and welcoming, which made it easy to feel part of the project. Although I was there for only 1 week, it was a great opportunity to learn about the local culture, their challenges and contribute in small but meaningful ways.

The paid accommodation was simple but had all the necessary structure to ensure a good stay.

I recommend Saidika to anyone looking for a genuine and rewarding volunteer experience!

Pros: This organization is perfect for those who want to engage in social projects and have a genuine impact on the Kibera slum community. You can choose the projects you want to focus on, plan your own volunteer itinerary and participate in local activities.

Keep in Mind: It’s not the most budget-friendly volunteering option. Volunteers are responsible for their own accommodation, transportation, and any activities outside of the provided lunch. These extra costs can add up.

Tips: Located in Nairobi, it’s easy to explore the city and enjoy tours during your free time.

The work that Saidika does in the slums are truly wonderful, and they really matter for the people there! I learned ALOT about Kibera. It was a beautiful experience, but also a hard one since you saw so many sad destinies. It is a lot of different work you can do here, that makes the days very varied and intresting. I really recommend this program!!!
Unfortunatly it was challenging communicating with the people that runs the program, I felt there was a big culture crash between me and them. And despite giving them feedback many things didnt improve during my 2 weeks there.

This was the best volunteer opportunity I’ve ever done. The work that Saidika is doing in Kibera is outstanding. I learnt so much about Kenyan cultures and the struggle that Kenyans are going through environmentally, socially and economically and really felt a part of and welcomed by the team and the community.

I went for a week and ended up staying for 2 weeks instead as I just didn’t want to leave. Being hosted by Eunice and her family was wonderful, I loved being able to be part of their home.

One of the best times of my life. A perfect experience where you can really make a difference
