Community Health Care

This program places medical volunteers in clinics that treat a wide range of patients. These clinics provide services such as maternal and child health, family health, curative health care, primary health care, voluntary counseling and testing, training in health and HIV/AIDS awareness and family planning. It's a great opportunity for volunteers to donate their skills and time to helping others in need, while gaining hands-on medical experience and learning about medical care in Kenya - common diseases, treatments, and issues affecting health-care in the country.
