Alumni Storytellers
The most honest account of what BG does is told by the people who grew up inside it.
Former BG students are now doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, bakers, bank employees, and entrepreneurs across Kenya. Around 75 are currently in university or vocational training. Some are now donors.

Visit options
Three ways to come to Kenya — each designed for a different purpose.
Group visit
Organized group trips covering all three BG Kenya locations
Meeting children and staff, seeing programs in action, often participating in practical activities. Can combine with safari and coastal time near Malindi. Contact info@blessedgeneration.nl for current dates.
Sponsor visit
Visit Kenya to meet the specific child you sponsor in person
Facilitated at the relevant location — Ruiru, Malindi, or Nyamira. Many sponsors describe this as one of the most significant experiences of their lives. Contact info@blessedgeneration.nl well in advance.

Where you will stay
BG has guesthouses at both Ruiru and Nyamira.
Every item is a verified current need at BG Ruiru. Sponsor one child and you cover all areas.
BG Ruiru (~30km from Nairobi) and BG Nyamira (western Kenya, near Kisii)
Both guesthouses place you inside the BG campus community — eating with staff, walking distance from the children and programs. Your stay fee contributes directly to BG operational costs.
Three daily meals — same food served to BG children and staff
Towels, linen, and mosquito net provided
Shared kitchen and common area access
On-campus — you wake up inside the BG community
Available at Ruiru (Central Kenya) and Nyamira (Western Kenya)
Your stay fee contributes to BG operational costs
Help from the Netherlands
You do not have to travel to make a real difference.
No salaries. Every volunteer gives their time freely. Contact Sara van der Bijl at vrijwilligerszaken@blessedgeneration.nl to discuss what is currently needed.
Fundraising & events
Organizing fundraising events, charity campaigns, and awareness evenings
The annual benefiet concert and other events need people to plan, promote, and run them. The most immediate way to contribute from the Netherlands.
Presentations & awareness
Giving talks at congregations, schools, businesses, and civic groups
Explaining the work in Kenya, showing field video, building the donor base. One of the highest-impact volunteer roles BG Netherlands offers.
