Due to the remoteness of the land, there aren’t many clinics and medical professionals in and around where Masai tribes live. This leaves them at a great danger since any infection can turn dangerously bad and even minor illness can take away life. With good health brings prosperity, this is especially so in Masai people’s case as their work is physically demanding and good health is an absolute must. Join our health program and come to this unique place where civilization and all the modernity has yet to touch, and work to improve lives of the Masai tribe. You’ll work with local medical professionals and do variety of task, including creating awareness against HIV/Aids.
Volunteers must be a medical professional or medical student. We will require proof of this either through your certificate or an ID. Volunteers must also be willing to stay in houses where living conditions are very basic. Volunteers will however be served healthful meals.
Your work will depend on the level of your skill, your experience and what you want to do. You won’t be involved in any surgery but you can work in outpatient department, maternity ward and offer counseling HIV/Aids victims and become involve in awareness campaigns.
Volunteers will stay with a warm and welcoming Masai family during their entire volunteer program. Their houses are mostly constructed with materials that are available locally and made with indigenous technology. Living conditions are very basic. The meals the Masai consume are very basic but they’ll be given money to provide a more varied diet for volunteers. Volunteers will have breakfast around 8 am before leaving for project; lunch will be served around 12 to 1 pm, and dinner around 7 pm. For breakfast, volunteers will enjoy tea with cereal, fruits and toasts. Lunch usually consists of rice with vegetables, or sandwiches. At dinner, volunteers will enjoy traditional meals like irio, mboga, chapatti and ugali. Volunteers purchase their own bottled drinking water. Our coordinator will also regularly contact you to make sure you are satisfied. You’ll also have access to the coordinator’s mobile phone number and you can contact him anytime when you want to discuss something.
