Volunteers wanted

We particularly need volunteers from the medical community including doctors, nurses, midwives, laboratory technicians and people with social work and teaching experience. Medical volunteers work closely with our doctors on patient reviews, ward rounds and to educate the community on health issues. Placements generally start from a month upwards.


 Additionally, we need volunteers in the following areas:
·         Community Outreach – to educate the community on health programmes
·         Education – to teach in our school projects in rural western Kenya 
·         Event Planning – to promote our message, raise our profile and get more people involved.
·         Fundraising – which impacts directly on our ability to build capacity and respond to the needs of the local communities.

What we offer you:
We pick up volunteers from the airport on arrival and departure and arrange free accommodation with a member of staff.  We take volunteers on a Nairobi city tour to visit the Kenya National Museum, Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, and Ngong hills.  We also can also arrange for a one week safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru national parks with a tour company with whom we have negotiated a 25% discount. Volunteers will also have the opportunity of working in some of our other projects in rural Western Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania.

If you would like to inquire about current volunteer opportunities please e-mail info@arrowwebhospital.org with “Volunteer” in the subject heading. Please include your full contact information, professional background and what type of opportunity you are interested in.
