Volunteer with Kenya Health.
Most Kenya Health volunteers arrive ready to give almost anything a go and are comfortable "going with the flow." Adaptability and the ability to improvise are valuable skills. Our outreach medical clinic trips generally run for 3–4 weeks.
What can I expect when volunteering?
Due to potential changes in the areas we visit and the time it can take to travel to them, schedules and clinic times may vary. Things don't always run exactly to plan, so adaptability and the ability to improvise are valuable skills.
Clinics are run in various locations around Nakuru. During some trips the team is away for several days doing outreach clinics further afield. This provides a good opportunity to experience some other areas of Kenya.
A typical clinic day starts around 8:30am.

Free days are spent relaxing, sightseeing, souvenir hunting at the local markets and visiting Bagamoyo bags or on a Safari.

Interested? We'd love to hear from you.
Kenya Health is committed to financing medical consultations and surgery for people who otherwise would have no chance of receiving this much-needed treatment. We need people who can donate time, expertise in the medical or nursing fields, or funds for medical supplies. We would love to have you along!
We facilitate opportunities for Australians and people around the world to provide life-changing care.
Opportunities exist for doctors and nurses with an interest in women's health and paediatrics or general medical care, who can travel to Kenya to help operate health clinics, provide medical treatment, and take part in health promotion and health education activities.
