Kenya

| Intercultural Competence & Service Learning |

Program Outline

The program intent is to provide unparalleled cultural immersion and leadership development, while building new skills, giving back to communities, and forming long-lasting friendships.

 

Students will gain insights into the challenges locals face throughout Kenya and collaborate alongside their peers and local communities to help support and implement sustainable service projects. 

As they combine culture and meaningful service throughout their journey, students will celebrate tribal customs of the Maasai people, learning about their history and heritage.

 

They will be surrounded by the wild expanse of the Savannah and in the warm company of Maasai community members who are eager to share their stories. Students will become part of the community and learn what it’s like to live in Kenya as they interact with their Kenyan peers and visit local families. 

 

Students will also go on excursions to must-see spots and have the adventure of a lifetime exploring Kenya!

Why Kenya?

We believe that the best experiences are co-created, facilitated and curated with a local. Our president was born and raised in Kenya! We wanted to share her unique experience.

 

Located in East Africa, Kenya is ethnically diverse boasting numerous cultures, varied and striking landscapes, and the mecca of wildlife, famous for the big 5 – The Lion, Leopard, Rhinoceros, Elephant, and African Buffalo.

 

Comprising a variety of tribes, East Africans as a whole are known to be some of the friendliest people in the world, warmly welcoming visitors and immediately accepting them into their lives. Adding to the country’s ethnic diversity are Europeans and Asian immigrants from many nations. 

 

Getaway Growth’s East Africa program takes students on a 2 week adventure, where they have the privilege to embrace the traditional Maasai culture in Kenya, receive a behind-the-scenes look at conserving Kenya’s wildlife and coastal ecosystems, collaborate with local youth, build relationships, and sample the flavors of the local fusion of cultural cuisine.
