IcFEM-Mission Gap Programme (KENYA)

IcFEM is an interdenominational Christian organisation, currently operating in Western Kenya. The aim of the Interchristian Fellowships' Evangelical Mission is to build up people in the rural areas both spiritually and practically, to be wholly for God and hard- working, especially in the area of self- help and sustainable projects, to run a mercy ministry to the needy and to involve in various community development projects while conserving the environment. As our Mission is to Accelerate Community Development, IcFEM has now developed a gap programme for international students and volunteers to share their valuable skills. The Gap Programme involves volunteers in meaningful and enjoyable tasks in Western Province, Kenya and is run and managed in a relatively large town of Western Province called Kimilili.

We have recognised that students/volunteers in the developed societies can be a great asset in various ways within the strategic programmes and projects the Mission is undertaking to alleviate poverty. To involve them, the Mission has opened up opportunities through our service delivery structure called IcFEM gap programme. For those who will trust us enough to choose IcFEM gap programme for their gap year, a deliberate arrangement has been made for them to gain maximum benefits from the programme by also including a range of interesting eco-tourist activities students may like to do. As God is central in most people's lives in Kenya (87% Christians), those who feel the need to know God better and to strengthen their relationship with Him will find the programme most rewarding. The IcFEM Mission will give you a fantastic opportunity to do your part to stamp down on poverty in Africa.

The thing that is unique about the IcFEM Gap

Programme is we design each gap programme to the students/volunteers likes, dislikes, skills, character, their career… we are looking for flexible, hard working volunteers that are seeking to have a growing

relationship with God. Spend between two weeks and six months with IcFEM and experience one of the world's poorest, liveliest and friendliest countries.

Develop your self-confidence, become more independent and improve your cultural awareness whilst learning new skills. It’s a once in a lifetime experience that you’ll never forget!
