B. Activity design:
Please describe:
Kwetu home of peace aims reintegrating the boys so that they can be productive members of the
society. It acts as a bridge between the boy and the family by providing the boys with a safe pace to
stay and hopeful future with their families through the home visits and parental empowerment so that
the boys can eventually return home.
 the different phases of the Activity (preparation, implementation and evaluation)
The volunteer will be prepared for working in a different culture /country before departure by the
sending organisations and on arrival in the host country will undergo orientaion by the hosting
coordinating organisation (ICYE Kenya). The host organisation will in the meantime also have been
prepared to receive a foreign volunteer and will make the necessary applications for the volunteers
permit .Upon arrival the volunteer will go through an orientation to prepare the volunteer for the
project and family so as to help them to know what to expect and adjust better, and evaluation of
the activity will be done in an on going capacity and a mid term to see the progress the volunteer
has made and the way forward,the problems that they have gone through and resolutions to the
problems and end term evluation will also be carried out at the end to evaluate their whole
volunteering experience as a whole to see the impact the they had on the community and the
impact of the project on them . After orientation, the implementation of the activity will start with the
volunteer being inducted at the project.

Support:
Volunteers are constantly supported by the sending organization; the host organization staff, the mentor of
the project, the staff of ICYE Kenya.
Support is provided through different activities proposed in the on arrival training which aim at strength the
self confident and the “power” of the volunteers as at devoloping in volunteers knowledge and skills to
prevent conflict situation and possible risk.
Support is provided also through phone calls, email, meetings with the tutor.
As regards of stay of permit issues, ICYE Kenya, as coordinating host organization, prepares all the needed
documents to allow volunteers to receive their legal document to stay in the country.
Information:
As said, volunteers through the sending organizations receive updated and detailed information about the
host organization and the project. We send them also the ICYE Kenya National Profile which is a very useful
tool to prepare them to the experience abroad. They get a volunteers contact list and often some pictures
taken in the project.
Recognition:
At the end of their project volunteers fill in the youth pass certificate and may be invited to some local
events organized by the host organization in order to give more visibility to their own ideas and
experiences.
 the role and tasks of the volunteer(s)
The volunteer will be assisting the staff at Kwetu to assist the boys to be integrated into everyday life
and to develop a sense of responsibility and discipline – which is important for the social, emotional
and physical development.
 the practical arrangements (working hours, days off, holidays, food, accommodation, local transport)
The volunteer will be working for at leat 6 hours per day and will have the weekend off but if there are
any activities on the weekend the volunteer will participate in them and get time off during the week.
The volunteer will have lunch at Kwetu and will have the other meals with the host family that they
will be living in.
The volunteer will be walking to work from the host family or take one bus to get to work.
 how the Service(s) will contribute to the social and personal development of the volunteer(s), and what are the expected
learning outcomes.
Through interaction with the children the volunteer learn to appreciate a loving family and having the
basic needs provided for. They will learn to appreciate the facilities that they have at home and may

We do reinforce mentorship by the vounteering having a mentor from the host project and also one
from the coordinating organisation. Both mentors will be there to provide support to the volunteer and
also available for the volunteer for personal issues that the volunteer maybe dealing with and need
an ear.The mentor will also be involved on the leiasure activities that the vlunteer does so as to
strengthen the bond between the volunteer and the mentor. The mentor from the coordinating
organisation are normally former volunteers in Europe and other countries and can better understand
some of the cultural differences that the volunteer is going through. The advice the violunter on the
practical issues hat the volunteer needs to help them adjust better.
