Volunteer Abroad in Benin with Mercy Ships

Mercy Ships is a global charity that has operated hospital ships in developing nations since 1978. We primarily serve in Africa - currently in Benin - and provide life-changing surgeries and medical care to the forgotten poor - free of charge. Our hospital ship is entirely staffed with volunteers - from our medical professionals to our mariners, from our galley team to the information services department, from our housekeepers to our Academy teachers who teach the children of our long-term crew. Check out our many volunteer opportunities on our site.
