International volunteering mission for groups
If going on an adventure alone intimidates you, why not go in a group?
We organize group mission departures in Senegal and Kenya for groups of young people, in a school or non-school setting and for employees of companies. A great way to carry out large-scale actions for the benefit of the environment!
We offer high schools, as well as MJC or other structures welcoming young people, international solidarity missions in Kenya and Senegal.
These very comprehensive intercultural missions allow young people to acquire new knowledge, to take their first steps in interculturality, to understand the international dimension of environmental issues and to be actors of change by participating in our projects.

We offer companies solidarity leave in Kenya and Senegal, to go individually or in groups. These missions are ideal for going in groups since they allow to develop team spirit, “team building”.
Companies can send their employees through skills sponsorship, allowing the sharing and transmission of their skills and knowledge in order to strengthen the autonomy of populations and the protection of their environment. Mission expenses, as well as additional expenses (plane ticket, visa, etc.) are considered as a donation and are financed by the company of the employee going on mission and are tax deductible.
With our partner in Sri Lanka, we carried out missions with two international schools: Sainte Victoire International School and International School of Nice.
Over a period of 10 days, the students donated their time to the elephant foundation by participating in the maintenance of the elephants’ living spaces: cleaning the elephants’ litter, finishing the work on the elephant observation area, painting the museum and the souvenir shop, building a greenhouse made from recycled plastic bottles, bringing donations of school supplies and helping to write school correspondence with France.
In May 2024, a group of Swiss high school students from the Steiner School in Geneva had the chance to spend three weeks in Kenya!
The projects on site were varied: rehabilitation of the LUMO Sanctuary base camp, creation of a mural, construction of a greenhouse, writing school correspondence, etc.
The group also invested heavily in planting trees at LUMO and the CIT.
The students had the opportunity to work with our volunteer ethnobotanist to carry out in-depth work in his field, related to biodiversity.
The projects of this three-week mission were a great success, thanks to the investment of the work team and our Kenyan partners in the field!
