Come and join us in our January 2015 6-month long-term quest.

The aim is to reach remote or immobile individuals through aiding in the day-to-day running of mobile clinics, thus promoting the development and well-being of inhabitants in rural communities.

Country Information

Home to over 70 tribal groups and several languages, with small pockets of European and Asian minorities, Kenya is a melting pot of cultures, landscapes and wildlife. Equatorial Kenya promises an adventure of a lifetime discovering Africa’s finest offerings, such as tropical beaches, coral reefs, mountain views and ancient Swahili cities. All of Africa’s “Big Five” animals can be found within its borders: lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and buffaloes, as well as the famed Blue Wildebeest. During your time volunteering in Kenya, in addition to going on a safari and learning about the tribal Masai way of life, you will learn about a variety of current issues affecting Kenyan society. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to jump in and learn!
