About Us - Overview
The Center For International Voluntary Service (CIVS Kenya) is a Community Development Organisation that works with communities in the marginalized and poverty-stricken rural areas of Kenya.
We do this with the main objective of contributing to the socio-economic empowerment of disadvantaged communities and fostering harmonious relations among people of different backgrounds with innovative and customized high-quality services.
At CIVS Kenya, we believe that people should retain the responsibility for their own development while we support, guide, and mentor their efforts through our services.
CIVS Kenya achieves these aims through its two program areas:
1. International Voluntary Service
This is designed for people who want the chance to make a real difference in the fight against poverty, fostering development by the people as well as developing harmonious relations among people of different backgrounds and cultures.
We organize project attachments throughout the year for volunteers for them to offer their services as they learn, gain exposure and experience.
The projects can be either:
2. Community Development
This involves activities that focus on the following areas:
- Early Childhood Development and Education
- Feeding of Orphans and Vulnerable children
- Vocational Training in ICT and Work readiness
- Agriculture and Food Security
- Water & Sanitation
- Emergency Relief
These are to mitigate the effects of illiteracy, poverty, hunger, environmental degradation, diseases, and mismanagement of public resources.
