Testimonials

Volunteer Experiences

"I really wanted to volunteer, but the process seemed overwhelming—especially navigating the paperwork, licensing, and finding the right opportunity. Then I found Medic Connect. They helped with everything from visa applications to finding the right health center where my skills were most needed. The support didn’t stop there—they ensured I had a smooth transition into the community. I quickly learned some Swahili, enjoyed local foods, and bonded with volunteers from Germany. Cycling to the health center each morning was a joy, and my host family made me feel right at home."
