About Us

Our Story

Global Connections Kenya started as a classroom project in 2005. Our mission that got us started was to link American and Kenyan students through service learning projects. In doing so, these students would be able to broaden their global perspectives. As the project grew, we were able to offer students the opportunity to visit Kenya for a unique Kenya Summer Experience. Due to its popularity, this summer experience, along with other programs like Diaspora Community Link, Academic Gym, and Kenya House, are still being offered today.

What We Do
