Congratulations PCVs Alayna, Maxine and Nick on your Close of Service and ringing the bell! 🔔🇰🇪 ❤️

For two full years, you answered one of the hardest and most beautiful calls; to serve.

Alayna and Maxine thank you for bringing health, hope, and heart to every home visit, every youth club, every clinic talk, and every mama you supported. All the work in the Youth Resource Centre and making sure the health facility has resources to improve health outcomes. You taught handwashing, nutrition, and girls’ health, but you also taught kindness, listening, and showing up. Your compassion healed more than you will ever know.

Nick, thank you for the early mornings, the chalk dust, the lesson plans, the science lab and the unwavering belief you placed in every learner. You taught more than STEM. You taught confidence, curiosity, and courage.

You came as Volunteers. You leave as family. You came as guests. You leave as sons and daughters of Kenya.

Kenya has changed you, and because of you, your communities have changed too.

As you ring out today, know that your service will echo for generations to come.

We are so proud of you. We will miss you.

Hongera sana! Asante sana kwa huduma yenu!

With deepest gratitude and love,
Your Peace Corps Kenya Family

Happy Mashujaa Day from all of us at Peace Corps Kenya! 🇰🇪

Mashujaa Day is a national holiday in Kenya that commemorates those who fought for independence and have made contributions to Kenya post-independence.

20/10/2026

Mashujaa (Heroes) day honors all Kenyan heroes and heroines, including past freedom fighters who fought against British colonial rule, as well as modern citizens (such as farmers, teachers, soldiers, athletes, and innovators) who continue to build and shape the nation.

Here at Peace Corps Kenya our Volunteers, past and present, our Counterparts, Supervisors, Communities who partner with us and our amazing Staff, are our forever Shujaas!

Health volunteers Brooke, Henry and Alayna participated in technical exchanges by giving health talks, partnering with schools where PCVs work, They discussed various STIs and s*xual health, informing the students about STI signs and symptoms, transmission, and treatments. Brooke talked to the girls about early pregnancy, its risks, stigmas, and consequences, as well as methods for safe s*x and menstrual health. Henry talked to the boys about safe s*x, consent, and the importance of proper condom use.

Last week, our trainees found out where they’ll call home for the next two years. 🇰🇪

They’ll be heading to communities across Kenya to work alongside local partners to strengthen health and education.

We’re excited to see the connections they’ll build and the impact they’ll make along the way.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! / Heri ya Siku ya Walimu Duniani! 🍎✨🇰🇪

We celebrate our Volunteers and their Counterparts who wake up every day to teach, mentor, and inspire students in and out of classrooms.

You are more than teachers. You are language learners, culture sharers, librarians, science club patrons, girls’ education champions, and friends.

Thank you for opening doors through education.

To every Kenyan teacher, counterpart, and PCV teacher, to all teachers in the world, we say Asante Sana, Mwalimu! 🙏❤️
