🌟 From Scepticism to Second Home! 🌍✨

8 weeks ago, Nela took a leap of faith ✈️, inspired by a chance encounter with one of our former volunteers @anna_lenapts on a flight.
Fast forward to now, and she’s embraced every moment with the Better Me family in Kisumu, Kenya! ❤️

From sunset views by the lake 🌅, karaoke nights with the team 🎤, and swimming lessons with the kids 🏊‍♀️, to witnessing first-hand the incredible impact Better Me has in the community 🙌💫 — it’s been a life-changing journey.

Though she was nervous about travelling alone, Nela now calls this place her second home 🏡💕. With just 3 weeks left, we can’t wait to see what more amazing memories unfold! 💖✨

Today we had the great joy of visiting the permaculture farm of @makemesmile_kenya 💚 We got to see their bee hives 🐝 , farm land and tree nursery and even plant 150 trees 🌳 together.

The project aims to educate the local community on sustainable farming practices as well as to support reforestation of the area.

Asanteni sana!

🌍✨ Welcome, Amelie! 🇩🇪💛

Yesterday, we had the privilege of welcoming Amelie Joseph from Germany to the Better Me family! 🎉🌟 She’s been dreaming about this moment since March, after learning about us from her amazing mum. 🥰🙌

For the next 12 weeks, Amelie will immerse herself in an unforgettable experience — building friendships 🤝, embracing new cultures 🌺, and creating lasting memories with our community 💫. She’s excited to bring her passion for art 🎨 and love for reading 🌅 to life here in Kisumu!

Volunteering with Better Me isn’t just about giving back — it’s about discovering yourself, experiencing meaningful connections, and making an impact that stays with you forever. 💕🌟 Whether it’s sharing a laugh with the kids, enjoying sunsets at Dunga Hill, or dancing through life with the Korando community, there’s something magical here for everyone. ✨🌈

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start your own life-changing adventure, this is it! 🛫💼 Join us and be part of a family that’s making a difference, one heart at a time. 💖

Another day of splashing holiday fun!! 🏊‍♂️💦 Yesterday our volunteers took the Korando kids once again for a fun time at the swimming pool.

Big thanks to everyone who donated to our SWIM fundraiser, which enabled this continued access to the swimming facilities at Somerset Hotel.

On Saturday our team facilitated youth mentorship

On Saturday our team facilitated youth mentorship sessions as part of an event organised by @bluecrosskenya @bluecrosskisumuke dubbed "Kaa Sober", meaning Stay Sober - a concert aimed at drug prevention among the young people in Kisumu.

Our sessions and the whole event was a great success, aligned with our shared commitment to empower the young people in Kisumu to create a better world for themselves and their communities 🙏💙

🎉 Exciting News from Nyalenda! 📚🎨 Better Me, in collaboration with Dewo Ngima, brought a mobile library and art class to the heart of Nyalenda slums! 🌟 Children enjoyed a treasure trove of books and a vibrant art session, sparking creativity and a love for reading. This initiative, supported by the Ubuntu Family Initiative, was a joyful blend of learning and fun.
