VAE Kenya offers a unique opportunity for those looking for a challenging and fulfilling gap year, whether before or after university.

After working and living in the same area of rural Kenya for over 20 years, our understanding of the challenges facing the local population is unparalleled.

We offer our volunteers the opportunity not just to teach, but to live in the heart of a rural community and culture and to work in schools with a genuine need of their skills and initiative. The experience stays with them; many have returned to Kenya years afterwards, some on a regular basis.
