The Kenya Red Cross on Sunday, April 28, responded to Kenyans seeking to join the organisation noting that there were vacancies for all interested.
This comes at a time when most parts of the country are experiencing floods necessitating immediate response.
Kenya Red Cross has been partnering with key government agencies to rescue close to 20,000 households which have been displaced by the heavy downpour.
“Visit the nearest Kenya Red Cross branch and sign up,” Kenya Red Cross told Kenyans seeking to join the rescue team.
It should be noted that the rescue team is a volunteer position and does not come with monthly remuneration.
“One of the most important traits of a volunteer at the Kenya Red Cross is being selfless and having no desire to gain anything from their actions,” Kenya Red stated.
Kenyans who sign up for the program are expected to support the organisation's humanitarian work by contributing towards improving the lives of those in need.
