We are planning to make a dent in poverty this summer by enabling 60 young people from around the UK to take part in one of our 3 Expeditions in Kenya.The project will contribute to the lives of children and young people in both Kenya and the UK.The purpose of the Expeditions are to help the local communities to build and create new classrooms for children, who at present go to school in little more than mud shacks with sometimes around 90 children per class - to give them safe, clean and bright places of study, they will help teach the children basic English, sports and have an opportunity to learn and share each others' cultures. The groups will also have a chance to participate in cultural events and trips and see some of this beautiful countryThe young adults from the UK will all have come from a background that has been disadvantaged through either social, economic, educational or cultural obstacles. They will be recommended to us through a variety of youth organisations, who will put forward candidates who have shown promise and effort in turning around their situations, and who they feel would benefit from it at this stage in their lives.The benefits for them will be many, from developing the self-confidence to advance beyond their current or past circumstances, to gaining team-building and personal skills that will help them to become more employable or lead to further education/training, giving them a unique international experience to motivate them back in their own communities to strive for more in their lives, and provide them with the opportunity to identify their strengths.
