Tai Global Elective is a Kenyan based organisation with a strong link with the United States of America (U.S.A) where our Marketing Executive is based. TAG offers different tailor- made elective programs/placements across the Globe with a greater focus on Africa where most of our clients have shown interest in volunteering in and have gained life changing experiences. Tai Global Elective is comprised of dedicated, young and focussed individuals who work round the clock to ensure that nothing is compromised when it comes to structured placements and provide a great experience to our clients.
Our clients come from different parts of the World and we have hosted participants from Norway, Canada, U.S.A, Barbados, Sweden, Australia and the U.K
To give our clients an enabling environment to learn and shape their careers through participatory action and contribute towards making the world a better place from humanity.
To be the market leader in organizing exceptional and memorable Elective and Volunteer placements in Africa and beyond
We pride ourselves in providing invaluable experience within the East African region having hosted participants from different parts of the world who have testified of our incomparable service. We have had students from the University of Bialystock - Poland, University of Arizona - U.S.A, Arizona State University - U.S.A, University of Western Ontario - Canada, Boston University - U.S.A, University of Florida - U.S.A among many others.
We run programs on a large scope of interests and desires, the icing on the cake about our programs is that we focus on our clients’ needs and aspirations to design placements that are a good fit, for example those in the medical field such as students training to become doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, public health, physiotherapists and occupational therapists are mentored in these fields and get hands-on under supervision of qualified Healthcare practitioners under our wing.
We also have volunteer programs in different fields like refurbishing Orphanages, teaching English to kids in the slum areas, and also organize medical and hygienic clinics within the communities where we run our programs..
Our programs run for a minimum period of 2 weeks to 6 weeks but can be longer, we place students all year round, meaning we are pretty flexible as to when you start your program but we encourage our clients to begin their program during the first week of every month so they can have company of other program participants from different parts of the world. We use Calendar weeks to determine your program period i.e. a 4 weeks program starting on 1st day of a month the last day would be the 28th of that month.
Our destinations are a blend of both Rural and Urban settings, you can choose an urban setting with beautiful Sandy beaches and Touristic environment like the Coastal areas, busy City life like Nairobi with more modern structures or a much slower rural setting where resources are much more stretched and where you would get a true village experience, albeit with a greater modern feel especially in terms of accommodation which is standardised across all our destinations. We organise most of our outreach programs in Villages i.e. Dental outreach, Medical and or Hygienic Clinics for preventative care especially for those interested in public health.
As we all know information’s pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience! In Africa students will encounter diseases and conditions that are rarely seen in the developed countries, such as malaria, leprosy and polio, sleeping sickness. You will get to know most of these diseases are preventable but due to a lack of both general health education and money to pay for treatment, cases tend to be far more advanced than you will normally see in western hospitals.
Our large spacious, comfortable houses provide safe, secure accommodation, with electrical fence and three security guards; one for day and two for night shift. Mouth watering meals, hospitable and welcoming staff who are on hand 24/7 to make sure you are fully supported throughout your stay; you will also have travel advice of interesting places to visit in your destination. We have Team Leaders in all our destinations well informed of the placement locations they manage and always willing to assist participants with getting around the towns and villages.
Having worked with medical professionals and partnered with different hospitals our elective participants have an upper hand and are assured of a great experience!!!
