Africa Animal and Veterinary Volunteer Placements

This program takes place in Kenya. It provides a unique opportunity for international internships and animal  volunteer work abroad; a chance to learn about animals; about veterinary medicine in general and specifically about the practice in rural Africa. For those aspiring to join animal science programs and veterinary medical colleges, this may be an eye opener to your career path.

For others already enrolled in or graduated from veterinary medicine schools, it will be an opportunity to practice your skills in a foreign setting and learn about tropical animal diseases. Graduates of veterinary schools or animal science programs are welcome and encouraged to volunteer or intern abroad with our projects in Africa.

International volunteers and interns overseas in Africa assist the resident veterinary surgeon in his many duties including handling animals and animal feeds, filling and keeping animal records and handling medicines.

International volunteers and interns abroad in Africa are not be required to have prior knowledge of animal healthcare or even veterinary medicine. They will be provided with orientation that will be sufficient for carrying out required voluntary service and/or internship tasks.
 
International volunteers and overseas interns working with animals will be expected to work for between 3 to 8 hours a day.
