MCBO organizes international work camps which attract both local and international volunteers. Every year we organize work camps in April, May, June, July, August, September, November and December respectively. Work camps means working together with the community while enjoying and experiencing the local cultural and interacting with the local community. During this period, volunteers prepare their own meals, and live in either with a family or in a school for three weeks.

Volunteers are able to experience third world development challenges and also the beauty of the country. Our camps have since been reviewed, improved and tailored to enable the volunteers enjoy their experience through the following; The volunteers will get fascinated by visiting city centre and Nairobi safari walk. They will also gain knowledge by visiting Kenya National Museum in preparation of coming into contact with local culture. At the work camp they will embrace the local culture and get integrated into it. They will also experience the disparities in life through the work camp and tour to the coastal water project.

We also offer special work camps which run from 2-8 weeks respectively.

The work camps will still cost 350 euros for the period of 21 days.

The fee caters for airport transfer, meals and accommodation, drinking water at the project, project transport, part project materials and administration fee respectively.
