KULE SUMMER PROGRAM
All students are welcome, regardless of whether they are doing IB or not.
Hilary Angus, Mulgrave School, Vancouver , Canada
Summer Program participants are able to gain life-changing experiences through their work with the host communities. In addition, we offer the participant an ideal way gain a unique and perhaps once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience of one of Kenya’s diverse cultures. One other unique experience, of living with carefully-selected families at the beginning and end of the program, is also available for those interested.
“The media often portrays Africa as war-ridden and filled with poverty and disease; but having the opportunity to work in Kenya and see its true beauty and potential was life-changing for me.”

WHERE DOES IT TAKE PLACE?
So far, it has concentrated on a village in the central province of Kenya mainly near a rural town in central Kenya; it is about two hours’ drive from the capital city of Nairobi. However, depending on other factors, KULE Summer Program can be undertaken other places.
WHEN DOES THE PROGRAM TAKE PLACE?
Summer Program: July- August (has been the most popular choice)For details, please see the Itinerary section.
For the southern hemisphere schools, December/January is an attractive option.
Usually 2-4 weeks; but the duration depends on the individual/ school, or group’s preference.
WHAT DO WE DO?
KULE Summer Program participants undertake two or three complementary projects, depending on the finances raised. (Please see the individual project pages.)

By undertaking two or three projects, the participant is able to: in Parklands Sports Club or at Gracia Gardens both of which are in a quiet and middle-class residential parts of Nairobi, or in a boarding school (if available) or in a hostel nearby. In Murang’a, they will stay in Mukawa Hotel; and in either Kahama Hotel or Kenya Bay Beach Hotel for the Mombasa option. Those who go on safari to the game reserve will stay at Sopa Lodges, one of the camps. Sopa Lodges is very nice, safe and generous.

Exercise flexibility in concentrating on what they like doing most. For example, while some participants are working on a school project, others are putting up shelter for the impoverished senior citizens, and/or the rest are working in a home for the children at risk or teaching them basic skills like English, social science, mathematics…. and so on… (there is plenty to do there!).
