Kaya is a very good, reputable company who are invested in making sure that you feel happy and safe whilst on your placement and that you are well informed in advance. They are always just an email or phone-call away if needed. I found all correspondence extremely helpful and would recommend this company to anyone interested in volunteering abroad.

Kiersten’s South Africa Experience

Kiersten’s South Africa Experience

I really enjoyed my internship site. I really enjoyed being able to make connections with various doctors and nurses that worked on site. They always made sure I understood the situation the patient and they let me in on their thought process going towards the diagnosis. I really enjoyed being able to look at X-Rays with the doctors and being able to talk about what I saw before they told me their diagnosis. I spent a lot of time in the maternity ward at the clinic and I really enjoyed being able to help admit the patients and then seeing the patient through for their time at the clinic
