Solidarity Trip to Kenya

Discover Kenya by visiting projects that support the local community.

Get to know the real Kenya and locals, away from the tourist route. With the rural development projects, you’ll be able to get to know more deeply the local people as well as the community and women’s groups that fight to improve their lives.

Learn their songs and traditional dances, their typical food, their methods of farming and caring for their animals, their medicinal plants and ancestral rituals.

Travel in a new way and contribute to supporting the locals; Karibu Kenya! (Welcome to Kenya)
