Volunteer Kenya Volunteering Abroad HIV / AIDS Awareness and Care Missions

HIV/Aids - Heath Care programs Kenya has been hit hard by the HIV epidemic with approximately 1.8 million adults and over 400,000 children infected. By 2010, it is estimated that up to 30 million children will lose one or both parents to the disease.  Volunteers with medical experience (medical/nursing students and professionals) will support the local Makuyu clinic which is located about 20 minutes walk from the orphanage.  

For those without medical experience (pre-med/nursing students, public health) you can help promote HIV/Aids education and information with the goal of preventing transmission of the disease. 

HIV/Aids - Heath Care programs Some of the activities for volunteers include: Promoting safer sex through education, assisting with home-based care for victims with HIV/Aids, and most especially rural outreach programs to those in need with food distribution, assistance with activities of daily living and providing words of encouragement.  Volunteers with a strong interest in making a difference are welcome.  To work in this rural clinic you must be a 3rd or 4th year medical student or trained professional.  There is very limited equipment and staff and volunteers must be able to provide hands on assistance to the staff. (This is not a program for observation).
