0 Organization background

XXXX volunteer tours, is an organization registered in Kenya in 2019 under Tourist Industry

Licensing Act (Cap 381) and the new Company Act of 2015. The institution is based in Kenya

located in the sub-Saharan region where local culture is being eroded at the expense of

modernization. The local’s way of lives has been for ages been used to protect the environment

and the wildlife. However, the international campaign towards realization of provision of basic

education, good health, and sanitation to the locals has been limited in this region due to poor

infrastructures development and lack of volunteer and government personnel to assist in realizing

the SDG’s goals. This factor informed the organization Director, Henry Odunga Wavyire to

focus on tourism volunteer as a new field within tourism to focus on the five key elements (basic

education, good health, and sanitation).

Henry Wavyire Odunga holds a Master of Arts Degree in International Relations from United

States International University of Africa, Diploma in Engineering from KIBHT, certificate in

Tourism from Utalii college, and certificate in Spanish and French from Alliance Francaise. He

has been working in the tour field for over 5 years within Kenya guiding tourist in various tourist

sites in Kenya and neighbouring country, like Tanzania. The vast experience in the area enabled

him to identify a niche in empowering the locals who supports protection of wildlife and

environment through volunteer ship in basic education, good health, and sanitation.

2.0 Mission

The organization to link culture, tourism and human development through volunteer travel in

Kenya tourism destination points. We intend to improve the Sustainable Goal in provision of

basic education, affordable health, and sanitation through reducing the poverty levels in the

tourist destination areas (game parks, game reserves, marines and sanctuaries).
We strife to bridge the inequality gap experienced by the locals surrounding or living within the

tourist destination points in Kenya, with the assistance of local and foreign volunteers by

engaging them in various social empowerment areas. Therefore, the future global traveling will

be of importance towards transforming the beneficiary community and we assist in ensuring the

volunteer tourism goal is achieved.

The organization intends to provide a meaning difference in the visited communities by creating

affordable volunteer travel experiences that take into consideration security, accountability and

quality of services offered. This will be achieved through programmes that promotes provision

of basic education (adult education), access to basic affordable health, and access sanitation

services with the assistance of volunteer. The programmes will offer opportunity for the

volunteers to experience and share the cultural values in the areas of operation.
