Kuth Awendo Community Resource Center is a project that was initiated by CIVS in collaboration with the local community in 2019 with an aim to build and strengthen the community’s capacity to be self-reliant and to improve their living standards. The Centre achieves this by demonstrating how to utilize the locally available resources to develop the community.
The Center has been collaborating with the local community in various development fields through diverse capacity-building programs support and services they offer. The center provides a community hub for access of free training in computer skills especially to the youths. This enables them to have increased ICT knowledge and exposure in the evolving world of technology.
The center runs a kindergarten with about 90 children aged between 3-7 years who are either vulnerable to poverty, orphans, infected or affected with HIV/AIDS. The children get free education and meals at the school. In the evening they go back home where they stay with their caregivers or guardians.
Additionally, the Centre has a Model Farm which is an agricultural-based unit that offers space for practical-oriented training in the field of agriculture. This provides the community with an opportunity to learn how to carry out various best farming operations and practices of various crops to maximize food production and improve food security and income generation.
CIVS Kenya organizes tours and safaris to spectacular sites of interest in Kenya. Volunteers, who wish to participate, should let us know as soon as possible in order to enable us to make proper arrangements. The fee charged is all-inclusive of meals, transport, park entry fees, accommodation and tour guiding. The cost of a 3 days safari to Maasai Mara National Reserve is 400 Euros in a Tour Van and 470 Euros in a Tour Jeep. The safari dates is between 7th and 9th may 2024
