It was founded in 2008 and is still running up to date.
This is a community project which is situated in the heart of an island north of Mombasa.
The community project was established by the local youth of that area, where they felt the need to conserve the environment by coming up with a research on the importance of the mangrove ecosystem and ways in which it is conserved.
The project has maximum personnel of around 20 youth who are dedicated on environmental issues and the areas of concern of the community. They train them on how to conserve the mangrove and also come up with substitute programs where the community can be able to benefit from the mangrove.
All volunteers are welcome. The program is open to all interested to do environmental conservation work and also to learn the challenges that the community faces.

5.Environmental conservation project Gede
This programme aims at tackling the coastal environmental issues in a very integrated and holistic manner. It is both for learning and experiencing environmental issues in the coastal region of Kenya. The programme will engage several stakeholders as environmental issues are very complex and interrelated so it cuts across sectors, communities, programme, ecosystems, and nations. We believe we have the best environment package that will make the Developed North interact more positively with the Developing South and embrace environmental practices that will lead to a better and more habitable environment for the present and future generation.
Arabuko sokoke forest, hosts the forest research institute offices and some other environmental conservation NGOS.The forest covers is 400km2 and surrounded by over
600 community groups. The forest is a habitat of some endangered bird species like the sokoke scolp owl.
At the forest you shall learn about the different types of forests around the coastal belt mainly the mangrove forest, mixed forest, branchystegia woodland and the cynometra thicket. You will also learn more about the value of different tree species and the some other modern uses of trees that include the eucalyptus tree plantation using bio technology to supply the main electricity distribution company.
In the past the communities around the forest used to use the forest resources in ways that were not self sustaining, hence destroying the Eco-system, so the forest came up with a number of projects that were initiated by conservation groups to preserve the forest like the aloe-vera farming, beekeeping among others. Volunteers will work both at the office; tree center and always go out with forest maintenance teams.
We work with a number of children homes across the country of whom welcome both professional and general volunteers , both young and old . Each children home has a permanent onsite member of staff of helps in supervising the volunteers and planning for their day to day work;

These children all have their own incredible stories of their hardships they have lived through The Home initially started with 200 street children though the effort of Mama Mary and her daughter out of the love for streets boys and girls and the friendship they had established at the time the kids would be housed at Pangani, Nairobi. Later the home to Ngong Bul Bul where they were able to build semi permanent buildings where the children now sleep, eat and learn. Mama Mary started of the home by first sharing the word of God to all these less fortunate children and offering light lunch. This continued until they developed a rapport and later into a parent-child sponsorship. However this was not enough as at night the same children were still exposed to hardships most of them became wiling and followed her at home although it s not possible to accommodate all of them the government donated land to her. The children who have passed nursery school age attend a nearby primary school and come back at home for the evening.

Hope For Orphans Center(HOREC) is a home started in 2005 by initiative group of community field health workers who are involved in providing home based care for
HIV/AIDS infected, affected and vulnerable children.

The main idea of starting HOREC for the orphans and vulnerable children was mooted in their cause of duty, as they were touched by the plight and the extent of suffering which was being experienced by the HIV/AIDS orphans, so they felt a strong urge to come up with a rescue center for the very desperate cases of orphaned girl child because they are vulnerable in order provide a safe haven for them.
Currently the home hosts around 25 girls aged between 1-13years of age and the younger kids go to a nearby school as the older girls go to boarding schools. The home caters for both girls and boys, but the boys don’t stay in that home because it’s small, so they are left in the company of their relatives and guardians but they are supported by the home.
They come to visit during the weekends and live in the evening for their homes.
The current situation of the home is that its a rental house just enough for the 25kids and lately they have acquired a piece of land where they are planning to build soon when funds are available. But its a really nice place to volunteer and understand their way better.

34 .Malindi district hospital
Malindi town is approximately 120 kilometers north of Mombasa and 600 kilometers from Nairobi city. It is the district headquarters of Malindi district.
Since the elevation of Malindi to a district, the hospital received district status and thus the facility had to be expanded.
* New wards were built raising the bed capacity from 80 t0 250 beds.
* A maternity shelter was built to cater for pregnant women.
* A paedriatic ward
* A HIV/AIDS fully equipped wing with voluntary counseling and testing services.
* A theatre
* A maternal child healthcare department.
All this expansion was made possible with the help of
* Danish development agency (DANIDA)
* United states agency for international development (USAID)
All this expansion was done but the number of staff addition was very minimal; thus there is a very big staff shortage at the center. It's the only referral government hospital in a radius of 70 kilometers. The nearest such institutions are in Kilifi 70 kilometers south and Garisa 300 kilometers north. This makes the hospital have a lot of patients that the staffs are not able to cope with; thus the administration is welcoming any type of medical volunteer, intern and professionals to come and help out with the situation.
This program is open to the following group of students:
- pre-meds
- Nursing students
- medical students
- students doing electives and clinicals
- students specializing in public health
- students interested in learning about tropical medicine
- students interested in learning about strategies used to provide health care in rural areas
- students interested in learning about family health
- students interested in any other area of study
- any other medical student
- health workers
- medical doctors
- any other general volunteer

This program has been developed out of the need to assist medical centers offer medical services to mainly rural populaces. The program also helps the volunteers learn more practical medicine while help the few medical staff cater for the patients
There are only 5400 trained doctors in Kenya therefore having a ratio of 1:6000 doctor/patient urban areas with rural areas having ratios of upto1:85000 patients.
Touch Africa International therefore has started this program to help expose foreign students to medical issues in africa while mobilizing support for the health facilities in rural areas.
The high doctor/patient ratios are caused by:
- The continued exodus of nurses and doctors to foreign countries in search of greener pasture (better pay).
- A shortage of enough recognized institution that give the nursing and medical credentials; this makes the few available institutions out of reach for aspiring nurses and doctors and also expensive making them more unreachable.
- Most of the nurses and doctors who study abroad in foreign countries end up working in those respective countries.
- Nursing and medicine as a course in it self takes a long time and is also very tasking and this discourages some of the potential students who are looking for a shorter course to pursue.
The government of Kenya has come up with programmes that improve the terms of service of already practicing nurses and doctors but this has not eliminated the problem.
The population is growing and the ratio of persons per nurse/doctor is growing.
Statistics reveal that:
-
Population 17.3 Million female, 16.3 Million; male total 33.6 Million
- No of doctors; 5,443(6,062 persons per doctor)
- No of dentist 841(39,992 persons per dentist)
- No of pharmacists 2570
- Infant mortality rate ;(per 1000) 77 for children under the age of 5.
The statistics clearly depict the health situation with an acute shortage of medical staff and patient conjestion in our health institutions.
The congestion in the facilities leads to
- Overworking of the nurses and doctors.
- Patients not being attended to.
- Rise in the infant and general mortality rate.
Touch Africa therefore is concerned about rural community health institutions because:
- They serve the most needy members of the community;
- Most Inhabitants of rural areas live below the poverty line; this makes it impossible for this group of people to find better services in private institutions.
- Touch Africa is concerned about rural community development and we believe that development go hand in hand with better health.
- Rural areas in general are marginalized and lack the necessary infrastructure for development.
Therefore Touch Africa has developed a mutually beneficial internship programme for all medical practioners and health facilities
In this venture we are willing to invite institutions and universities to send students, practicing nurses and doctors to our medical institutions to conduct a professional internship while addressing the issue of shortage of nurses; the students will be attached to a supervisor who will monitor their work

The interns will follow a small curriculum that we have already developed for at least 3 months.
During the internship periods, Touch Africa will billet interns with selected families near the institution, or in organization where the intern is working. We select families with a good social trend/record and train them on living with other people from other cultures.
This is a major policy for Touch Africa, through which our interns are able to have first hand experience on basic living cultures of standard African families.
Benefits to the interns.
