Ukraine - Medical & Dental Mission (UA0525)

Bring Emergency Relief & Hope to Ukraine!
Are you ready to step into the frontlines of compassion and service? Join CERT International on a medical, dental, and humanitarian mission to Eastern Ukraine, where communities devastated by war desperately need care, relief, and hope.

Open to adult volunteers (18+). No medical experience is required, but preference is given to medically trained individuals! Whether you're providing medical aid, offering encouragement, or simply being present, your willingness to serve can make a life-changing difference. This mission involves travel into active war zones. Volunteers must be flexible, adaptable, and fully aware of the risks involved.
Spots are limited.

What You’ll Experience:

• Provide medical and dental care to those affected by war.
• Distribute humanitarian aid to families who have lost everything.
• Offer spiritual support and encouragement to the Ukrainian people.
• Stay in dorm-style, communal accommodations at local partner churches.
• Travel daily to undisclosed clinic locations for security reasons.
• Witness resilience, faith, and the power of hope in action.

Volunteers will fly into Chisinau, Moldova, or Bucharest, Romania, then travel by van to Odesa, Ukraine. Due to the nature of this mission, clinic locations will not be disclosed in advance for security purposes. Bring the hope of Jesus where it’s needed most.
