Giving back · mission trip
Travel with purpose through Kenya’s special schools and the centres of the Association for the Physically Disabled of Kenya (APDK). Meet learners and teachers, see wheelchairs and aids made in APDK workshops, and deliver the donations you bring or sponsor. Then the coast and Tsavo’s red elephants to finish.
The signature moment: A learner trying out a new wheelchair in the school yard, with classmates cheering.
