Are you sitting there, wondering how you can get involved with this Base? There are a few things you could do.
That’s the heartbeat!
The wind in our sails – if ever we are to do anything of eternal value.
We would be eternally grateful if you prayed with us and for us, as God would have you.
Right there where you are, you could be at the frontier of Athi River’s activity and community, by getting down on your knees and lifting up prayer for us.
You can get in touch with us today to find out how you can pray.

Designed such that individuals are required to pull away from their jobs, schools, and the everyday cares of life, for a specific time period, the Discipleship Training School will facilitate you in giving your undivided attention to being moulded into undeniable Christ-likeness.
Even though the Acacia trees are numerous, they do not handle the day-to-day activities on the base – staff do.
Staff are the unsung heroes that keep the Base moving. Their long-term commitment ensures stability and continuity, cultivating a suitable environment for evangelism, discipleship and community impact on, near and far from the Base.
Does God want you here, in the thick of the action, facilitating the activities of YWAM Athi River?
In which area would He have you serve with us? Get in touch and speak with us about it.

The work is great; the labourers? Never too many!
A volunteer is someone who comes to serve with the Base for a short time.
Usually, a volunteer comes with a particular focus in mind, e.g. serving with the preschool, evangelism, or with a general desire of just being part of every aspect of life in this community for their intended period of service.
The maximum time for which one can volunteer is 6 months
There’s always room for more God-sent hands here. So, get in touch with us to see what we can do together, or better yet, if you already know, why not send in your application?

Every August, YWAM Athi River runs a kids camp.
During this camp, we host hundreds of children and use the opportunity to minister to them, play with them, and bless them (plus their families) with whatever has been made available.
You can be part of the next one.
Starts: 13th August 2024
Ends: 16th August 2024
Get in touch and find out how you can participate!
We’ve been privileged to host a number of DTS & YWAM teams for their outreach!
Eternally Impacting, Culturally Immersive!
Share our endeavour with friends, family, workmates, schoolmates, your landlord…even strangers!
Tell them what God is doing at Athi River Base; perhaps He has a place here for them!
Catherine KingIt was the 90s and I was 7 and 9 years ago. Just a missionary kid who was living a free life. I helped with chores. I made chapatis on the jiko. I sorted beans, peeled potatos. Used machetes to chop the grass to help keep away snakes. We played football or soccer when the ball wasn't deflated by acacia thorns. The rest of the time we dug holes and played mancala in the dirt with stones. Or went wandering looking for impala, giraffe or elephants in the shadow of LuKenya. My parents taught DTS, leadership training courses, PCYM, led King's Kids and other activities. It was a great experience for our family as well as the many short term missions we hosted.
Brother Sam KitalyaA great place for training in discipleship and bonus of wildlife experience. Zebras, Giraffes, Warthog and Antelope roams. Truly a great sight and bird watching as well.
Noreen KomboA place to know God and make Him known through a holistic Discipleship Training School (DTS) run by Youth With A Mission (YWAM)
Vicent A. Kazungu (Baba Theo_Jedd)YWAM AthiRiver the mother of many YWAM bases/location in East Africa and Central Africa it is a beautiful place to be. They have a game pack on their land where you can see giraffes, antelopes, zebras and many coolest jungle livers. Being part of the YWAM global family they are involved in doing Mercy ministries, training programs and evangelism. You will enjoy your time whenever you visit them. Wonderful hospitality, warm friends from all over the world and environment will capture your attention. With these few words I therefore recommend YWAM AthiRiver as a place to be. Karibu!
David OryangAway from the clamour of urban life, this YWAM Base is an ideal getaway for one to be able to detach and zoom-in on the more important things of life - especially concerning Christ & God. Did I mention the abundance of giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, etc just close by in the bush-bush?
