About the program

Healthcare providers, & Dentistry professionals are always in high demand in the communities we are serving. Gain volunteer experience with us in humanitarian Aid in Kenya. This program offers hands-on clinical experience in local healthcare facilities, community health outreach, and medical camps serving underserved populations. This service-learning initiative offers medical support to residents who require healthcare services. Participants will have the chance to collaborate with local healthcare professionals, understand the health challenges faced by the community, and acquire essential skills and knowledge for future careers in the healthcare sector. You will gain practical experience by performing ECGs and ultrasounds, administering vaccines, dressing wounds, conducting vision tests, and more. This program is tailored for medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, clinical officers, lab technicians, pharmacists, caregivers, and consultants, who aim to serve underprivileged communities, as well as pre-med students seeking initial exposure to a medical career and valuable experience before entering university or the healthcare field. There is a steady need for healthcare providers and childcare professionals in the communities we support. Join us to gain volunteer experience in humanitarian efforts. Students or interns without prior medical experience will have the opportunity to learn by observing and assisting doctors on-site through activities such as watching procedures, managing office tasks, and recording health data. Professionals can take on roles such as assistant doctors, nurses, dentists, physical therapists, or midwives, or perform basic procedures at our clinic. This includes patient consultations, diagnostic tests, surgeries, treatment plans, and routine checkups like measuring blood pressure, pulse, temperature, height, and weight. You will help with dressing and suturing wounds. You will work in relevant departments (e.g., gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics) to support patient care and staff. Assist in hospital laboratories or counseling units, which may involve organizing data or helping with testing procedures. You will aid in the organization and distribution of medications and help patients navigate from one service point to another within a hospital or clinic.
