What is Amicare Foundation?
This is a Non-Governmental Organisation that was birthed with the
aim of liasing with tourism organisations and other willing parties
in promoting eco and cultural tourism while at the same time participating
in community development activities in rural areas of Kenya. The
foundation organises for visiting tourists to set aside some of
their time and money to finance and take part in community based
projects. Amicare Foundation has the dream of integrating tourism
activities in the country with helping the local communities.
The Initiative
The Amicare Foundations is working very closely with Amicabre
Travel Services. And the two initiated the program "Meet The
Kenyans". Through "Meet the Kenyans", both aim to
create a bridge linking, directly, the tourism industry and national
building. The programme will involve committing visiting tourists
with professional backgrounds or self-initiative to assist in community
based activities. This activities run from renovations of schools,
hospitals, recreational areas and other arenas in the community
infrastructure amongst other development projects. On another hand
the visitors are able to directly interact with the people from
the communities they are assisting.
