Medical Outreach in Uganda
Gain your Diploma in International Volunteering whilst making a difference. This program involves visiting various community and slum groups to provide medical care.

They often do not have a lot of education on hygiene or access to clean water, so even a simple cut can be life-threatening and cause major problems.
Start Dates: Every Monday
Duration: Flexible (2-50 weeks)
Price: starting at £969 (incl. your Diploma in International Volunteering)
