Accommodation

 

V4FK now offers low-cost accommodation to volunteers.  Our two-bedroom apartment (complete with outside security guard and gate) offers a safe environment, and eliminates the need for volunteers to seek pricey outside accommodation.The apartment is located less than one km from one of East Nairobi's most modern shopping centers featuring a bank, restaurants, supermarket, and more.  (The western-style shopping center also boasts a bookshop, department store, food court, and Internet cafe.)  

 

The apartment is also located just a three-minute walk from a major bus stop, with buses leaving to town at regular intervals.The apartment features a western-style overhanging shower, flush toilet, sizable kitchen space, and electricity/freshwater services.  Volunteers can rent a shared room with us now for roughly $40 a week - $30 a week per person if shared - whereas the cheapest hotels and hostels in Nairobi normally cost a minimum of $60 a week. For more information about accommodation availability with V4FK, please write to us at: volunteer4freekenya@gmail.com.  Thank you.

 

Food

 

Unfortunately, our program does not currently offer free food to volunteers (due to financial constraints).  However, volunteers can find 'reasonable' meals in Kenya from anywhere between $0.50-$5.00, depending on the taste and choice of the individual.  (V4FK can give volunteers a general rundown of Kenyan food and culture to help orient them to Nairobi.)
