Other Ways to Help
Rieko Kenya is happy to discuss and engage volunteers who can help in specific areas online.
We take interested volunteers to learn how to cook local foods. The $10 is used to buy the food ingredients and fuel for cooking. Volunteers are greeted and given a rousing welcome. They are then briefed on the specific type of cooking and community benefits in their participation. Finally, everyone eats.
Rieko Kenya is keen in engaging and working with volunteers with diverse background in creating longstanding positive impact.
