About Program
What better way to enhance your career path in the medical or healthcare field than to join a program allowing you to give back and make a difference in the healthcare system of a community that struggles with inadequate infrastructure, overcrowding, and limited resources. Join African Impact in providing medical support and assistance to the local facilities in Limuru - a widely known tea-producing and tea-processing zone in Kenya, producing some of the world’s highest quality tea.
You'll also have the opportunity to maximize your volunteer stay by venturing out and find some of Africa’s best beaches down at the East African coast, the Maasai Mara, and the Great Rift Valley.
