ORGANIZATION: Path From Poverty
Please visit the new page to apply.
Are you ready for an adventure that will not only change lives but also touch your heart? Travel with Path From Poverty to rural Kenya in spring of 2025, and make a lasting impact by helping to construct bases for rainwater catchment tanks-tanks that will provide clean, safe water for women and their families for years to come.
You will be part of a team of 12 dedicated volunteers, working side by side with resilient Kenyan women who are breaking the cycle of poverty. You will connect with them, hear their stories, and witness firsthand the transformative power of community.
This isn’t just a volunteer trip-it’s an unforgettable experience. We will begin our journey exploring giraffe and elephant sanctuaries in Nairobi. Then we will travel to the Ukambani to meet Path From Poverty group members in fellowship and construct bases. To wrap up the trip, we will spend two at a national park, where you might spot leopards, elephants, and more of Kenya’s stunning wildlife on game drives.
As one volunteer said: "You can see pictures of it. You can read their stories. But when you actually go and you experience it, it touches your heart and your soul in a way you’re just not prepared for."
Are you ready for an adventure that will leave you forever changed? Join us in Kenya, and be a part of something truly extraordinary.

Mission Statement
Path From Poverty reaches across cultures to transform lives and communities by partnering with women's groups; empowering and equipping women to break the cycle of poverty. At Path From Poverty, compassion, justice and sustainability ideals are instilled into every initiative and every program, delivering an impact powerful enough to change lives long after a program has ended. This principle-driven approach creates a culture where anyone can find a place to share and serve. We are currently contributing to the following Women’s Group projects in Kenya: - Clean, safe water, in the form of 10,000L rainwater catchment water tanks - Leadership & income-generation training - Solar power, including panels, charges and utility pack
Description
Path From Poverty has been working with impoverished Kenyan women in water equity for 25 years because their access to clean water is virtually non-existent. The water they fetch daily is up to 10 kilometers away and filled with water-borne diseases. Path From Poverty is tackling this issue head-on by working in 7 rural regions in Kenya, supporting over 2000 women, and providing 10,000-liter filtered-rainwater catchment tanks that sit right outside a women's home, bringing clean, safe water to her and her family. The women are in small groups working in collaboration with micro-business and collective savings to help each other obtain water tanks. Our group leadership model means the women lead the process based on their priorities, working in groups to support personal capacity to generate income and be accountable, all while building social cohesion. The partnership between the Kenyan women and Path From Poverty results in nearly 300 new tanks and 100 solar panels per year.
