Description

Volunteer in Kenya Dental Clinic (All backgrounds and professions welcome!)

In partnership with the Chogoria PCEA Hospital, Global Dental Relief’s Kenya project is located in a fully equipped dental clinic. Situated roughly four hours north of Nairobi at the base of Mount Kenya, Chogoria offers a breathtaking escape from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi and a unique picture into rural life in the Kenyan countryside.

$3,395 – for the clinic + sightseeing itinerary

$1,650 – for the clinic only itinerary

Call our office for single-occupancy and triple-occupancy rates. There is a separate $200 Kenya dental license fee that each dentist must pay.

On arrival, the team overnights in Nairobi and has a morning tour to visit a giraffe sanctuary and Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant refuge before heading north to the clinic site. Once in Chogoria, volunteers stay on hospital grounds and base out of the hospital guesthouse. Enjoy morning walks to the clinic greeted by friendly villagers and smiling faces of eager patients. Following the clinic, volunteers embark on a three-day safari in the renowned Masai Mara National Park. The project duration is 14 days, which includes: travel time to Kenya, orientation, sightseeing in Nairobi, five days working in the dental clinic and a three-day safari in Masai Mara National Park.

Volunteers may opt out of the sightseeing portion of the project and head home after the clinic.
