In Kenya, Volunteers work with business owners, youth and women's groups, non-governmental organizations, and with small business programs to assist Kenyans in developing employment and income opportunities in both urban and rural areas. Additionally, the demand for trained math, physics, chemistry, and English teachers remains high, and the Peace Corps is helping to meet that need. Health Volunteers work with government counterparts to meet a growing demand for water, sanitation, and health education.
Volunteers help construct and maintain water storage systems and facilities.
While seeking to reduce environmental degradation, the Kenyan government works with Volunteers to transfer appropriate technology skills to farmers, primary and secondary school teachers, and students and women's groups.
