CARE & MEDICAL PROJECTS

We have many placements where you can help those who can't help themselves - it's immensely satisfying and expands your understanding of a different culture and some of the hardships in life.
  • Care and Social Work projects

  • Creche and Orphanage projects

  • Medical projects

  • Nursing projects

We work in hospitals, orphanages, social work and care centres, and always with the objective of helping the local community. We also have a variety of Medical placements available where you could work in a hospital, clinic or teaching hospital, in any one of a number of departments.
You don't need any qualifications (unless otherwise specifically stated), just a lot of caring, loving and comforting. These children really need that.
Make a difference ... get involved!
