Assisting international communities with dental care, education.
Welcome to Kenya, a land of stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. From the sweeping savannas of the Maasai Mara to the majestic peaks of Mount Kenya, the country's diverse terrain is nothing short of spectacular. Experience the thrill of a safari, witnessing the Big Five in their natural habitat and the breathtaking Great Migration. Kenya's cultural tapestry, woven with the stories of over 40 distinct ethnic groups, offers a unique blend of traditions, music, and dances. Engage with the welcoming Maasai people and immerse yourself in the local customs that make Kenya so unique.
On this service trip, you'll have the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local communities. Participate in projects that support education, healthcare, and sustainable development while building lasting connections with the warm and hospitable Kenyans. Join us on this unforgettable journey to Kenya, where adventure awaits at every turn, and every experience leaves a lasting impression.
Donations Needed for Our Service & Safari Clinics Each One World Brigades trip brings medical and dental care directly to communities in Kenya with limited access to healthcare. We are always grateful for donations of supplies that our teams can use in the field. Medical & clinic supplies • Disposable exam gloves • Surgical masks • Gauze and wound dressings • Bandages and medical tape • Alcohol/prep pads • Syringes and needles • Sutures • Blood pressure cuffs • Stethoscopes • Thermometers • Glucometers and testing strips • First-aid supplies • Disposable gowns and drapes • Disinfectant wipes and infection-control supplies • Feminine hygiene products Dental supplies • Toothbrushes and toothpaste — especially children's • Dental floss • Fluoride varnish • Disposable dental bibs • Cotton rolls and gauze • Saliva ejectors and suction tips • Prophy cups and brushes • Prophy paste • Dental needles • Dental burs • Restorative materials • Hand instruments and extraction instruments in good condition These types of medical and oral-health supplies are also represented on Kenya's essential-supplies lists. Cash donations are especially helpful We can always use financial donations to purchase medications for our clinics. By law, our medications need to be purchased in Kenya rather than brought with us from the United States. Cash donations allow our Kenyan medical team to purchase the medications we need locally before each clinic. And because 100% of donations to One World Brigades go directly to our projects, your gift directly supports the patients and communities we serve. Every toothbrush, pair of gloves, box of gauze, and dollar donated helps us care for more people. ❤️🌍

ContactThe fee is set one year in advance (mainly based on airfare at the time). The fee covers the airfare, transportation while in country, housing (all meals provided), and bottle water support. The fee does not include vaccinations or any medications or personal purchases made on the trip. Each trip varies quite widely, and can be found on the trip page you're applying for!
You do not need experience, we will train you on the job. A lot of what our volunteers will be doing various jobs, based on what you would like to do. We will find the right spot for you based on your comfortability and how you would like to help. There are many levels that you can get involved with, from administrative work, basic oral hygiene work, to assisting the doctors.
The Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gives recommendations to the three parts of the world that we are going to. For Uganda and Ghana, there is a live vaccine that is required, and that is the yellow fever vaccine. You need to have a card saying you were vaccinated for yellow fever. Malaria vaccines are important for traveling to these parts of the world as well. The CDC will give you a recommendation based on which country you are traveling to. You will have the vaccination done a day before getting on the plane, and then continue those vaccines a week after your return. Also it is important to note that we do not cover these vaccines in our fees.
Interested in joining, hosting or sponsoring an upcoming trip? We'd love to have you and appreciate your support. Schools and Universities can choose to adopt a program!
Join Us in Kenya this year! We're providing service in Nakuru, and the Mara Conservancy with time for exploration and adventure in-between.
Our ability to continue to provide care and services to the global communities we serve is due in large part to the generous support of individual donors and partners who believe in our mission.
