Migori Rural Nursing Elective

My experience with Elective Africa was beyond what I could ever have imagined. My nerves before arrival subsided the minute I was greeted at the airport by an EA staff. I had so much hands on experience in the rural hospital of Migori,Kenya and got an opportunity to to do things I would never have the chance to do in Australia. This is by far one of the best things I have done fro my Nursing career and would recommend this to any health professional willing to take the next step. I was always made to feel safe at home here in Kenya. David was such an amazing Coordinator and Daisy made all the nice food for me.. Its truly a life changing experience!

Kenya Pre-medical Elective: A Rural Approach

The staff of EA were so helpful in providing all of the necessary information for the trip, and went above and beyond my expectations when answering my questions. As our departure date neared, I became more confident and comfortable which wouldn't have been possible without their support. Our arrival was smooth and timely... On an educational level, I couldn't have asked for a better experience…The rural setting gave us the opportunity to connect and feel comfortable with the members of the community and of our surroundings…We got to volunteer locally and focus on community outreach-something that is very important to me. We also did fun activities on the weekends, like taking small trips to Lake Victoria and Homa Bay.

My time here in Migori,Kenya with Elective Africa program has been the greatest experience of my life.I have been on the fence for quite sometime about whether or not I wanted to pursue a career in Medicine but wasn't sure where I would get the inspiration that I needed…David was such a great Program Coordinator. Our experience wouldn't have been near what it was without his expertise and connections.I always felt very safe,comfortable and entertained.Thanks for exposing us too to the community health aspect.

Migori Premedical Elective

I could not have anticipated the amount of love and acceptance we received from the hospital staff, in addition to the exceptional assistance of the EA staff. If you're like I was and you're not 100% sure about attending medical school, this experience will be great for you…This program allows you to observe things you would never see as a premed in North America. In addition to the hospital work, we had the opportunity to visit a girls secondary school and an orphanage, both of which were amazing experiences; and that is just a glimpse of what we did in our 4 weeks…This program is well organized; the people are exceptional and I am looking forward to the next opportunity I will have to participate in an EA program.

Inspiring Young Minds

“I really enjoyed my time in Kenya with Elective Africa The Staff is incredibly kind and hard-working. Every morning they prepared food before we woke up and at night they played late to ensure were taken care of. I also loved Meeting and teaching the children at school. The teachers Were very kind and helpful and they gave me room to teach classes that I wanted. The Children are the best part of working at the School. They are Creative, Smart curious, and kind. It is a joy to teach them. I also think that Spending time in a local School is one of the best ways to learn about a country and its culture. Although I do not plan on becoming a teacher I enjoyed my experience teaching and I Learned a lot. The school was also wonderful for improving my Swahili skills because the students helped teach me.

In addition, the Excursions were an incredible experience. The local excursions Included Shimba Hills, Diani, Mtwapa, Spice Market, and Haller Park. Carol was also Super helpful in receiving our input and preferences for excursions and worked out the logistics. Overall I had an incredible experience and am so thankful for the time I spent in Kenya.”

Thank you!
