About Program
Social work and community health volunteer opportunities in Kenya allow you to give back to the community by lending your time to people, hospitals, clinics, and healthcare institutions. You will perform your roles where the need is most urgent and your impact can be the greatest, helping with patients care and providing psycho-social assistance, participating in public health programs, and research and education projects. Above all, you will make a high impact difference with your participation and gain skills and experience that will help you achieve your goals.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
