Drinking water is available but it is advisable to either boil or medicate the water before consuming. Alternatively mineral drinking water can also be purchased from the nearby shops.
In this workcamp, volunteers will have a chance to do evening nature walks, home visits, cultural meetings and games. During weekends, volunteers can visit Lake Victoria, and to view the equator line sign. Volunteers will also have the opportunity for early morning visit to Kakamega Rainforest, hike on the forest hill and witness a sunrise from the forest hill. Leasure activities’ costs are not included in the participation fee.
Community Health Volunteers-Virhembe is a community based organization established in 2006 by Kenyan volunteers operating within Kakamega. The organization is situated at Virhembe Shopping Center and focuses on fighting HIV/AIDS and other health issues. The mission of the project is to spearhead implementation of community health conservation projects in order to create a better life for communities in Shinyalu.
The organization pursues the aim of expanding capacities of the community in regards to dealing with HIV/AIDS. The group also aims to promote safe sexual behaviour and practice among youth and vulnerable groups. Community Health Volunteers in collaboration with DANIDA have established a community dispensary that serves people living around Kakamega forest.
The group also engages in tree planting and nursery preparations as a way of conserving the environment
