Trip Information
Overview
The Southern Adventist University Alumni Mission Trip to Kimogoro Adventist School is a partnership with Maranatha Volunteers International, serving the fascinating country of Kenya.
There is a great need for churches and schools in this eastern African country, and local church leadership has requested Maranatha's assistance. SAU Alumni volunteers on this project will work at the Kimogoro Adventist School. This school was founded in 1996 with only 35 students and is now home to over 300 children. The growing campus needs help improving its infrastructure.
This group will help build a new building for the secondary school. Volunteers who join the team will also have the opportunity to conduct local community outreach, including a children's program.
This project will include a safari excursion to the world-famous Masai Mara National Park.
Excursions
Masai Mara National Park
As part of the mission experience, volunteers will enjoy a memorable day excursion to Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. Hosted by Maranatha Volunteers International, this optional adventure offers the opportunity to witness breathtaking landscapes and observe iconic animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and, if the season allows, the spectacular Great Migration. It is a chance to experience the beauty of God’s creation while enjoying fellowship and making lasting memories with fellow volunteers before returning to the mission project.
