Health Care Program

A life changing opportunity

Program Description

Action Kenya Initiative is a charity organization dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable children, youth, and women by providing equal access to education and healthcare in rural communities that are unable to afford these essential services. One of our proudest achievements is the establishment of a primary school that provides free education to children from disadvantaged families, helping to break the cycle of poverty and create brighter futures. To support our mission further, we have started a new initiative, Africa Empowered Practicum which invites higher education institutions in Europe,America and Asia to offer their students or individuals the opportunity to travel, immerse themselves in African culture, and gain hands-on, practical experience in their field of study through our charity’s programs and initiatives,

We offer two distinct programs:

  • 1.Education
  • 2.Health Care

1.EDUCATION PROGRAM:

This program is ideal for students/individuals majoring or interested in Primary Education. In this program your students will get to teach pre-school to primary school children. As a school we welcome new ideas and teaching methodologies allowing your students to experiment and take total ownership of their teaching experience. They will have freedom to choose the subject they want to teach and design a curriculum tailoring it to what they see best responds to the needs of our children. At our school we teach the following subjects: Arts, Music, Physical Education, Swahili, English, Maths, Science, Hygienne, Agriculture "We particularly encourage students/individuals with expertise in the arts—whether in dance, music, theater, painting, or other disciplines—to participate. However, our school currently lacks art supplies and musical instruments. Any donations of materials would be greatly appreciated to help enrich our arts program." We are also enthusiastic about welcoming students who can introduce innovative methodologies for entrepreneurial education tailored to primary school children.
BENEFITS:

  1. Needs Assessment: Students will learn to evaluate the unique needs of children, which may differ from those in Europe.
  2. Curriculum Development: They will take ownership in designing their own curriculum.
  3. Creativity in Resourcefulness: Students will enhance their creativity by teaching with the limited resources available at our school.
  4. Cultural Immersion:They will experience African culture and gain insight into the physical and emotional needs of our children.
  5. Transformative Experience: Many former students report that this experience has profoundly changed their lives, providing them with a new perspective on education and life.
  6. Certification: Students will receive a certificate upon completing the program.

2.HEALTH CARE PROGRAM:

This program is ideal for students majoring in healthcare fields such as nursing, general healthcare practice, and prenatal care. Your students will have the opportunity to assist the local community with essential healthcare needs, including prenatal care, basic health assessments, health education, and preventive care services. Students will be based in the local medical dispensary and will attend to patients with the support of the local medical practitioners. Students will also be able to attend hospital visits, where they get to observe major medical procedures, such as delivery of a baby, (normal and caesarean section CS) and attend medical camps to help the patient who can’t afford to visit health centres for treatments.
