Kenya Medical Mission Trip - September 2027

CCV is honored to continue partnering with Missions of Hope International (MOHI) to bring medical care to underserved communities in Nairobi, Kenya. This mission trip is a unique opportunity for licensed medical professionals to use their skills to make a tangible, lasting impact.

Our team will serve primarily in the Mathare Valley, one of Nairobi’s most densely populated areas and may travel to additional established MOHI locations throughout Kenya as needed. You will work directly alongside MOHI’s local medical staff to provide compassionate, high-quality care to an average of 500 patients over the course of the week.

Basic Information:
Trip Dates: September 11 - 20, 2027
REGISTRATION:  Registration deadline is July 1, 2027 
Trip Leader:  TBD

Who can go?

Medical Professionals of any discipline and specialty - Primary care, Pediatrics, Nurse Practitioners, RNs, assistants, Dentists, Physical Therapists, Ophthalmologists, etc. If you have a heart to want to serve, God can use what you bring to the table.

Limited space is needed for non-medical team members; non-medical trip participants will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. These individuals will help with intake, triage, prayer, and other duties to serve the community.

Who We Serve
Patients include MOHI schoolchildren, teachers and staff, and members of the surrounding community. Many have limited access to healthcare, and your presence meets both physical and spiritual needs.

Scope of Care Provided
Volunteers will be assigned to care stations that include:

• Vital signs and triage

• On-site labs and pharmacy 

• Nutrition and health education

As a medical provider, you will perform head-to-toe assessments, screen for endemic medical and social conditions, and prescribe treatment from the MOHI formulary. You'll also have opportunities to collaborate with Kenyan clinicians, mentor local providers, and share best practices in global care delivery.

Team Meetings - The team will gather for team meetings to conduct logistical preparations, project planning, and training on cross-cultural ministry and spiritual awareness.
