This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. This village has been welcoming ohenro (pilgrims) who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting Kakurin-ji temple; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven t been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for omotenashi (hospitality). Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.

Mikono pamoja community development project is located in Rodi Homabay County. Mikono pamoja means holding hands and it is based on the notion of people working together to do more. The project was started to help improve the livelihoods of vulnerable people including the youth, kids, widows, and the old. The main economic activity in the project region is farming and fishing.Homabay County is among the counties in Kenya with high HIV prevalence, especially among the youth. This is somehow attributed to inadequate exposure to the outside world and a lack of employable skills. In addition, teenage pregnancies are on the rise among girls. The introduction of simple life skills could help reduce infection rates and teenage pregnancies. Life skills can also be extended to children when they are still younger to help them mature into responsible adults. Old people mostly stay alone in the village since children have moved out to urban areas to seek employment. In some families, the old are widowed and therefore life has become a bit difficult for them. They have to bring water from the river and do other chores by themselves. The shelters are also not in good condition. This project presents an opportunity for volunteers to work with the local people, and learn the Luo culture as the people also learn from them.

Community Empowerment Development Project (CODEP) is located in Coastal Kenya in Sagalla, Taita-Taveta County. CODEP is a new project that has been started to empower the local communities to improve living standards in areas of agriculture, education, water, shelter, and environmental conservation. Sagalla, located in south-eastern Kenya experiences a semi-arid climate, characterized by hot and dry conditions especially during the long dry seasons. The temperatures can often soar, and precipitation can be scarce. However, some highland areas exist, where the climate is more temperate, offering cooler temperatures and more favourable conditions for agriculture. This climatic variation creates distinct environmental challenges and opportunities for the conservation of plants and animals.Conservation efforts in Sagalla are vital to preserve the rich biodiversity of the region. The county is home to several unique and endangered species, including the Taita Hills Weaver bird found nowhere else in the world, and the Taita Hills Purple Granular Frog which is critically endangered. To conserve these species, it s crucial to protect and restore their habitats. Afforestation and reforestation initiatives can help combat deforestation and soil erosion, safeguarding critical ecosystems. Moreover, implementing sustainable agricultural practices and promoting wildlife-friendly land management can strike a balance between human needs and wildlife conservation.Community engagement plays a pivotal role in the conservation of Taita Taveta s natural resources. It s essential to work closely with local communities, providing education on the importance of conservation to the community. Volunteering in this project will help you learn the local culture, learn new skills in agriculture and permaculture, gain experience of coastal rural life setting, make a positive impact on the environment and the community, and make friendships with the people.

The children get free education and meals at the school.
