Welicar Educational Centre, situated in Nairobi’s Dandora Phase 3, is a community-based organization dedicated to providing quality education and holistic support to orphaned and vulnerable children from the slum areas.

The center offers various volunteer opportunities for individuals passionate about making a tangible impact in the lives of these children. Volunteers at Welicar can engage in multiple roles, such as assisting in classrooms, mentoring students, supporting the computer lab, organizing fundraising activities, and helping with administrative tasks like grant writing and press releases. There’s also scope for those interested in arts and crafts, storytelling, or initiating new clubs and interest groups. Importantly, prior teaching experience isn’t a prerequisite; enthusiasm and a commitment to uplift the community are highly valued. The center emphasizes cultural exchange and personal growth, offering volunteers a chance to immerse themselves in the local community. Accommodation and meals are provided for a weekly fee, ensuring volunteers are well-supported during their stay. In their free time, volunteers can explore Nairobi’s attractions, including game reserves, museums, and cultural centers. For those interested in joining Welicar’s mission, more information and application details are available on their official website.
