In collaboration with the Kikumini community, CorpsAfrica/Kenya was able to set up a tree and vegetable nursery in Munyuni village with Irene Kihumba as the 2023 Volunteer working on the site. The project seeks to encourage the community to plant and grow trees in a bid to protect the environment, and improve nutrition by making vegetable seedlings available to the community members of Kikumini Location so that they are able to generate income from selling the seedlings. The project was launched successfully in September 2023 upon completion of setting up the tree nursery with planted seedlings and an installed water tank.
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: engaging youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty. We recruit and train motivated volunteers to live and work in rural, under-resourced areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and, by doing so, gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.
CorpsAfrica trusts youth and communities to help each other.
