To Our Nurses in Action Volunteers - Thank You for 2025 ✨

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:
💙 Cared for hundreds of patients through hospitals, clinics, and community health camps
💙 Educated approximately 800 students per placement on hygiene, nutrition, sexual health, and mental wellbeing
💙 Reached the elderly, disabled, and house-bound through community outreach
💙 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 can’t wait to continue this journey with you in 2026.

Tag a colleague who needs this reminder… 💙

Long shifts, emotional days, little time to rest. It’s especially important this time of year to care for yourself too. Between holiday pressures, limited time with loved ones and caring for everyone else, don’t 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. You’ve earned it.

There’s volunteering… and then there’s Nurses in Action 💙

Our programs aren't just another overseas placement - they are a life-changing opportunity to use your skills, grow both personally and professionally, and create a lasting impact.

By volunteering for a 2026 Nurses in Action Program, you’ll step into communities where healthcare is limited but hope is strong. You’ll work hand in hand with local professionals to deliver essential care - from running health clinics and supporting maternal and child health, to providing vital treatments in rural settings.

But the impact doesn’t end with patient care! You’ll also help educate and empower communities, from mentoring local healthcare workers, sharing your knowledge, to delivering community health sessions that make a lasting difference. Because when you teach, you create change that continues long after you return home. 🌍

Nurses In Action is truly a unique experience - one that will reignite your passion for nursing, deepen your understanding of global health, and connect you with like-minded professionals from around the world.

It’s meaningful. It’s rewarding. It’s unforgettable.

And it’s waiting for you 💙 Applications for 2026 Nurses in Action Programs are now open. Join us in Kenya, Uganda, or Nepal, and be part of something bigger.

💙 Share your skills.
💙 Empower others.
💙 Be a Nurse in Action.

They gave their tomorrow for our today.

Today, we pause to remember and honour all who have served and those who continue to serve our country with courage and sacrifice.

We also pay tribute to the nurses who have stood beside them through it all - providing care, comfort and humanity in the darkest of times. Their compassion and strength continue to inspire us and remind us of the true spirit of service. Lest we forget 💙
