Exciting Volunteer Opportunity: Help Transform Our Children’s Library in Mombasa!
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.
