Diani Children tour visit school home orphanage is a full-day excursion to one of the many children’s schools/ homes/ orphanages within easy reach from your hotel/ residence in Diani Beach. In Kenya, the term ‘orphanage’ spans a variety of institutions including children’s homes, care centers, and rehabilitation centers.
These organizations care for children who have been orphaned, abandoned, or abused and have no other place to go. Having lived tragic lives without love and affection the main thing most of these children need is some care and attention. Your tour to one of these centers will be deeply fulfilling.
Many orphanages and children’s centers open their doors to other impoverished children during the daytime by providing feeding programs or a community school to benefit both the children living there and the wider community.
Depending on the time you have at hand you may help in the day-to-day care of the orphans, running the orphanage, helping with feeding and food preparation, etc. You could also join in playtime, arranging extra-curricular activities, sports, arts and crafts, entertainment and generally bringing fun and affection to the lives of these vulnerable and deprived kids.
You may also be asked to help teach a variety of essential subjects such as basic English, maths, reading, and indeed anything else in which you have experience. You may also work with young children and babies who either have no family or are from very deprived backgrounds.
Some of the children are suffering from HIV or AIDS and have been abandoned or are too sick to go to school; others may have been subject to abuse. Most children need love and affection and you will be utterly astounded to see how much your care and attention can change their lives.
