Mission: Global Village Ministries (GVM) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization registered in the United States that provides medical and dental care in Kenya, plus long term projects that include educational opportunities and THE OLMALAIKA HOME - which is a home for young girls at high risk of genital mutilation and childhood marriage. We provide three mission trips each year in March, July and October- to Kenya, giving free care to those with insufficient access to health and dental care. The focus on the medical/dental trips is not on how many patients are treated or the number of teeth extracted/restored, but instead on building relationships and reflecting our Maker. Each trip is unique and gives you the opportunity to understand the culture, see the countryside, make new friends, and enjoy the amazing wildlife.
