Most of the Healthcare centers and rural hospitals in Kenya are usually under staffed. This usually has a negative effect on the society especially when there is a outbreak of either an airborne or waterborne disease in Kenya. It is also a good opportunity for your medical students.
The teacher to student ratio in Kenya is very high due to lack of enough skilled teachers. You can volunteer in schools especially those in the rural areas and expose the pupils to diversity in teaching methodologies and cumulative new knowledge.
Orphanages and children homes in Kenya mostly care for children who are from different backgrounds. These (backgrounds) range from broken homes, post-election violence, have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS.
Many organizations in Kenya are turning their attention to environmental conservation and sustainability. Due to the world's new order on environment conservation, The Maralink Eco-volunteers want to be among the pioneers of this environmental program.
Volunteering in Kenya is a great way to enhance your medical experience and make a huge difference with your expertise. You can help by giving locals access to a better standard of healthcare to people infected or families affected by HIV & Aids.
Uniqueness of teaching in this area is that you’ll frequently find animal droppings and gazelles roaming nearby, Giraffes often wander freely around the school grounds
Maasai land is remote and very few facilities exist, local medical professionals are not enough, thus an urgent need for Medical volunteers. Volunteers have the opportunity to work in the area of general medical practice.
There is a significant lack of support and few facilities for children with disabilities in Kenya. Many families are unable to pay for the ongoing care that is required since they may find it expensive.
