At Kaya, your safety is always our key priority. We offer full support before and during placements, and have sets of emergency procedures in place to cover every eventuality. We only work with vetted projects and partners, which we review and conduct risk assessments with regularly, as we believe this is essential in keeping people safe. We keep updated on safety by monitoring the FCO (British Foreign Office), US Department of State and other national safety advisory organisations as well as global news broadcasts. In terms of the safety of the project staff and community members we request police checks for our participants.
You'll receive pre-departure training and a thorough orientation on site that helps you minimize risks associated with traveling abroad. Our local staff are knowledgeable about local customs and will help you to be culturally aware during your stay. They carry an emergency phone 24/7 and they are well trained in how to deal with any situations. Through Kaya, you can travel with some peace of mind knowing we have your safety in mind!
