Safisha Africa Welfare Foundation
Safisha Africa Welfare Foundation is a charity that is non profit and non governmental organisation registered in 2010 to give support to the poor families with kids who are unable to go to school. We help the families by enrolling their children to go to school, where we give them the best education possible. We also provide free educational writing materials such as books, textbooks, pens, and free school uniforms. We also offer sweaters, shoes, desks to sit on, and a classroom for lessons.

Alice and her family are lovely and always wishing that you feel comfortable. I feel like I'm part of their family now.
The kids at school are really cute. It feels good to see them dancing around and to help them to learn how to write properly.
I'm going back this summer!!
I would be pleased to explain more about my trip if you want to do the same: luciecastella@gmail.com

Alice is a smart, hardworking woman who takes very well care of all her volunteers. Alice’s house is completely safe, close to the mall and public transport. I am a vegetarian, but Alice was so nice to make sure that there was something I could eat. When I was sick she was very caring. I think there is no better way to experience the Kenyan culture than to live with a family like Alice’s – we were invited to her grandson’s baptism and to come and see Alice preach. If you want to you can make lots of new friends in the house.
The most amazing part about the experience was of course the children. They have so much energy and they really want to learn. Personally I wouldn’t stay for less than one month as you want to get to know the children well. In the beginning I assisted a Kenyan teacher. Later I started to teach a class myself and to take a child out for private lessons.
I will never forget the wonderful children of Safisha!"
