We heard we were throwing it back to 2016 š
Some things look different.
Some things feel the same.
And what hasnāt changed is our commitment to education, healthcare, and creating positive, lasting impact.
From then to now, Nurses in Action and World Youth International continue to stand for the same purpose: supporting communities, empowering people, and making a difference where it matters most.

To Our Nurses in Action Volunteers - Thank You for 2025 āØ
This year, 113 nurses and healthcare professionals chose to step beyond their day jobs and into communities that needed them most.
Across Kenya, Uganda, and Nepal, YOU showed up - not just with skills, but with compassion, humility, and heart.
In 2025, you:
š Cared for hundreds of patients through hospitals, clinics, and community health camps
š Educated approximately 800 students per placement on hygiene, nutrition, sexual health, and mental wellbeing
š Reached the elderly, disabled, and house-bound through community outreach
š Supported health services across 3 countries, often in challenging and unfamiliar environments
But numbers only tell part of the story... Behind every stat is a patient who felt seen, a student who learned something new, a family who felt supported, and a nurse who chose to care beyond borders.
We are incredibly thankful and proud of each of you. Thank you for giving your time, your expertise, and your heart in 2025. We canāt wait to continue this journey with you in 2026.

Merry Christmas to our Nurses in Action family š And to nurses everywhere - especially those working through the festive season - our thoughts are with you. We wish you a safe and healthy Christmas and a happy, healthy 2026 ahead.

Tag a colleague who needs this reminderā¦ š
Long shifts, emotional days, little time to rest. Itās especially important this time of year to care for yourself too. Between holiday pressures, limited time with loved ones and caring for everyone else, donāt forget that you matter just as much.
Take a moment to breathe, sip that coffee, laugh at something silly, enjoy a treat, or just sit quietly and recharge. The little things add up and your wellbeing matters now more than ever.
This Christmas, let yourself rest, smile, and receive the same care you give every day. Youāve earned it.
