The Volunteer Without Border project of CadifKenya currently has
opportunities to help develop communities through our partner organization in Africa.
Volunteers have the opportunity to be involved in a variety of work,
including education and training for children from under-privileged backgrounds
and HIV/AIDS counseling.
Through this program, volunteers will have a chance to
make a personal contribution and connection to the people of Kenya.

Throughout its history, the CadifKenya extension and outreach has partnered
with Maseno University Student Association citizens to identify and acquire
the knowledge, skills and strategies needed to address public issues and the
problems of family, youth, community, and agriculture natural resources effectively.
Many of these partnerships has resulted in cadres of volunteers who have extended
the educational outreach and have provided valuable contributions to their communities.
Volunteer development programs will provide personal, interpersonal and group
development training while emphasizing the roles and responsibilities of volunteers
in groups, organizations and communities.. Additionally, the complex issues facing
communities today require university educators to draw upon a variety of information
and program sources and that’s the basis of such partnership between CadifKenya
and Maseno University Student Association.
You can make a difference in the world.
