Volunteer
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Requests for midwives halted during the pandemic as most projects were not able to accommodate international volunteers. Things are slowly getting back to "normal" and we expect more flexibility for travel requirements soon. We are currently getting requests for volunteers in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and with our partner clinic in Nairobi, Kenya in addition to requests from our affiliations in other areas of the world.
Urgent needs:
Midwives needed for work in Bangladesh. Transportation and shared housing provided. This will entail working with local midwives and providers, offering support, education and clinical time in their hospitals and midwifery school. A new fistula hospital was just opened as well and this is a great opportunity to work and learn and share. 1 month minimum required - 3 months preferred.
Contact us here for more details.
Volunteers needed for clinics in Nairobi, Kenya. You are responsible for your own transportation to and from NBO and there is a small fee for room/board/laundry. Local transportation and support provided. Working with local providers, you will provide clinical support at the clinics and during home visits to some of the poorest communities in Kenya. This is a great opportunity to experience low resource work while offering support and to make a difference. 2 week minimum commitment required - longer term preferred. Contact us here for more details.
Please also consider serving in one of our ongoing projects. While we do not guarantee a placement, we are here to help you prepare so you are the best candidate for this work. Several NGOs utilize us as their first layer of recruitment as our process ensures success for all.
We also hope to reinstate our mentorship program in Nairobi, Kenya at the FreMo Birth and Health Centre in 2024. This program will offer education and clinical experience in a low resource setting with a mentor so you can learn at your own pace and prepare yourself for future work. Please inquire for more details.
