At Haller, we believe education is the key to a sustainable future. Our award-winning, solar-powered Education Centre in Mombasa has been a beacon of learning since 2006, home to Kenya’s first free children’s library. Every year, over 5,000 children from informal settlements visit this safe space, gaining access to books, IT resources, and vocational training.
Now, we’re looking for a passionate volunteer to help revitalise our children’s library in a hands-on, impactful way! This exciting project will take place over 4-6 weeks in April and May 2025.

Re-organising and rationalising our collection of 11,500+ books.
Cataloguing books into a digital system and arranging them for easy access.
Selecting books for display, community distribution, and visitor sales.
Engaging with young learners through educational activities and creative displays.
Optimising the library space to foster a peaceful and engaging learning environment.
What We Provide:
Accommodation and local transport for the duration of the project.
A daily stipend of £10 (five days a week).
Return flights to Mombasa.
Free weekends for cultural immersion and exploration.
Who We’re Looking For:
Organised and detail-oriented individuals with a passion for education.
Enthusiastic team players who enjoy working with children.
Self-motivated individuals eager to make a real difference.
Volunteers must arrange their own travel and health insurance.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to children’s education while experiencing the vibrant culture of Mombasa. If you’re ready to be part of something truly transformative, we’d love to hear from you!
