The Kenya Medical and Community Assistance Project
Nairobi, Kenya's capital is the country's principal economic, administrative, and cultural centre and is one of the largest and fastest growing cities in Africa. Just 30km north of bustling Nairobi, amidst the beautiful tea plantations of the Kenyan highlands, you will find Limuru, a community operating at a much slower pace of life than the nearby capital. You will be spending your time as a volunteer in both Nairobi and Limuru, which will give you a diverse experience of life in Kenya.
