HIV/AIDS has devastated life in Tanzania, resulting in many children becoming orphaned and many women widowed. Lack of proper awareness of the pandemic and the lifestyle of Tanzanians are the two main reasons for causing this devastation. There are now many local initiatives underway to treat the victims and spread the awareness against the prevention of the disease. Many efforts have become successful and saved thousands of lives.
RCDP have teamed up with these initiatives and we’re now offering you an opportunity to volunteer in our HIV/AIDS project in Tanzania. Through your work and dedication, these local initiatives will gain more momentum and succeed in saving thousands of lives.
No specific qualification required to volunteer in HIV/AIDS project. Volunteers should compassion towards people contracted with HIV/AIDS virus and shouldn’t hesitate to take care of them. You should also have drive, enthusiasm and passion to work in conditions very alien to you.
Volunteers will work with kids and adults in spreading awareness and train and educate the people. You will also counsel in the hospitals and grassroots communities severely affected by the disease.
Outreach program is another feature of the project and under it you will be involved in hospice care. As part of this project, you may have to be involved in organizing seminars.
During the volunteering period, volunteers stay with a host family and will be provided a separate room and share bath room facilities. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide with a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. The host family serves typical Tanzanian food three free meals a day. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyle and culture of Tanzania. RCDP In-Country coordinator and staffs will keep in touch with you by either visiting you every week or will contact with via phone. You will be provided with all the contact details of our office in Tanzania. If you have anything you want to discuss about, please feel free to contact our In-Country coordinator.
The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor. By developing the places and the communities, the volunteers are also developing themselves and learning new perspectives and ideas that will ultimately change their lives.
