People in the United States have the opportunity to volunteer through virtual, employee-supported, eco-volunteering and other ways. However, it is not so easy for people in a developing country. However, Kenya is similar to the US in that they are equally motivated to donate due to their values and understanding of certain issues, their desire to strengthen social relationships and possibly address personal (protective) issues, etc. The most widespread religion in Kenya is Christianity and Christians tend to believe in almsgiving, helping the poor and needy and helping children to be better. As mentioned in the previous section, many philanthropists and volunteers are in the children's field, the medical field, or both. America also has many religious people who equally tend to give more because of their religious background and values. America was formed on the twin pillars of Protestantism and capitalism; and Kenya is 47.4% Protestant. Chandaria most likely donated to GCH because she believed in their desire to provide healthcare to even poor children whose families cannot afford healthcare. Another similarity is that Kenyans offer money, time and services as forms of philanthropy and volunteerism, as in the United States.
