1-2 Years Volunteer Programs in Mombasa, Kenya

I had a fantastic time abroad with Elective Africa. They were present every step of the way, from pre-departure planning to the entire stay. They coordinated our clinical experience, accommodations, transportation, and additional excursions in the area. My classmates and I enjoyed exploring the area and learning more about African culture and lifestyle with a visit to an orphanage, primary school, and a city tour. This was a unique experience that broadened my perspective on healthcare and patient care.

I had an awesome experience with EA. I learned so much during my placement at a regional hospital there and met friends that I continue to keep in touch with even while home. I hope to return one day and would recommend this program to anyone.

I completed the past four weeks at Mt Meru Regional Hospital as my final elective in community medicine. I came into the program with an open mind and the willingness to learn and the program itself exceeded my expectations. Phabian was a wonderful coordinator and was there every step of the way to help in whatever I needed. I went through multiple areas in the hospital and Phabian was able to coordinate everything I needed and responded promptly to my requests. I was able to get what I wanted to from the experience at the hospital as well and went through various wards. I know I would have never gotten this experience at home and can go home knowing that this will carry on with me through my career as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tengeru coffee plantation recommended by Phabian and seeing the children at Neema's House. Phabian showed up in the afternoon and escorted us there. It was great and I would highly recommend taking advantage of those opportunities. It is great to see so many people putting forth the time and effort to help others in need and I'm glad I could experience that while I stayed here.
