Here at Karibu Nyumbani we welcome volunteers very much. We seek to include you into our family and put a lot of effort into creating a space where you feel comfortable and can operate in your giftings. You will quickly find yourself “adopted” by the Karibu Nyumbani family. Therefore, you will on the one hand be working alongside them (which never gets boring :) and on the other hand also be able to have some time to just be. Since Karibu Nyumbani is run more like a big family, rather than a “typical“ orphanage, the schedule is not dictated by the clock, but rather by the children, aunties and mamas living here. If you keep this in mind and come with an attitude of flexibility and willingness to help wherever most needed, you will find a lot of joy in this type of “schedule” :
To make your time at Karibu Nyumbani as fruitful and as beneficial as possible for both you and Karibu Nyumbani, it is good to know who we are looking for.
Karibu Nyumbani is looking for volunteers who:
- have a heart for children
- are servant-hearted
