Kenya has been hit hard by the menace of HIV/AIDS. Many families have been devastated by the disease as they’ve lost bread winners, women have become windowed and children orphans. There are local initiatives hard at work to stop the spread of the disease and provide proper health care to the victims. They’ve been doing a good job as government as far failed to provided sufficient services to HIV/AIDS victims.

RCDP is working with these initiatives and is now offering volunteers a chance to save lives by joining volunteer in HIV/AIDS Project. Join now and help Kenya victims of HIV/AIDS have decent lives.

Skill/Qualification

To volunteer in HIV/AIDS project, you won’t need any qualifications or skills. You will however need passion and the enthusiasm to succeed and get good results in the project.

Volunteer's Responsibilities

You can do plenty of things in HIV/AIDS project. You’ll be given work depending upon your education, skill and experience. Activities including counseling, feeding program (if the center you work in has one), visiting patients and their families and participate in public awareness campaigns.

You will also provide tips to patients on health, nutrition and sanitation and keeping patient records will be part of your task.

Accommondation/Meal and Supervision

RCDP will manage your accommodation, meals and will look after all your needs during your volunteer work in Healthcare project. You will stay with a host family during the project. You’ll be provided with a separate room and will be served 3 local meals a day. Our host families have been carefully chosen and will provide you with a safe and secure location. They’ll have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and will provide meals that are prepared hygienically. At least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the culture and the lifestyle of Kenyan people. RCDP will also call you or visit in every 2 weeks to check if you are satisfied and happy with the project.
