Mission to South Africa

A nursing enrichment experience. 


Volunteer in various settings: 

  • Local Clinics (Screenings, ER, Post/Ante Natal, HIV Testing Clinic, Mental Health)
  • Mobile Medical Units (Daily Travel to remote areas to provide care)
  • Rural Settlements/Villages
  • Orphanages 


Projects Include but not limited to:

  •  Health fairs, screenings and assessments
  • Primary Health Care at a comprehensive healthcare facility
  • Patient Education and Interaction 
  • Restoration and Revitalization Projects 
  • Mentorship with the youth, local staff and nursing students 


Our program enlightens, encourages and promotes humanitarian services for the working class nurse.  You will gain invaluable lessons through patient interaction, staff engagement, and exposure to new healthcare systems.  We strive to give the nurse an ultimate experience that will encourage them to make humanitarian work part of their careers.


Directors govern each mission trip along with team leaders.  With each project we create effectiveness with no wasted downtime followed by rest & rejuvenation after our service time.


We take the claim of Mission Trips at its finest !
