Mission With A Vision

Mission with a Vision is located in Narok, Kenya. It is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit organization. We are registered as an NGO in the Republic of Kenya. The organization was started in 1997 as a community-based organization fighting to stamp out female genital mutilation and forced early marriage primarily for Maasai girls although we... provide services to anyone in need. In addition, on rare occasions the Safehouse accepts orphans and those who live in extreme poverty. In 2005, the Safehouse was built with the help of donations from several generous funders. Currently, we have plans to expand the living areas, which include building a larger kitchen, dining facility, a library, and larger dormitories. We are looking for someone with good computer and office management skills to serve as an assistant to the Director. The position is located at the Safehouse which serves as a home for the rescued girls as well as the home of the Director and his family. While we are willing to negotiate a stay of under 4 weeks, we would prefer someone who is able to commit to at least two months or longer. Your lodging and food will be provided by Mission with a Vision. The Volunteer will live on-site and have a small private room furnished with a twin bed, bedside table, and closet. While simple, the living situation is adequate. There is running water and electricity, as well as a flush toilet. Cooking is done by a charcoal cooker and meals are served family style in the living area with the girls, the Director, and his family. The meals are cooked by the girls. A typical lunch or dinner may include spaghetti, cooked cabbage with carrots, rice and beans, a variety of greens, and occasionally chicken or beef. There are chickens on site so eggs are readily available and breakfast may be an omelet with tomato, toast, and grilled sausage. Snacks include apples, oranges, and bananas.
