Tanzania is a country struggling to provide basic healthcare facilities to many citizens. Though in urban areas, the healthcare system has seen improvements recently, in rural areas people are still succumbing to curable disease. Moreover, qualified doctors and nurses don’t like to visit rural areas and treat patients of poor family.
Recognizing this reality, RCDP is now cooperating with local healthcare providers and asking volunteers to join our Health Project. Through your work and zeal to save lives, hundreds of Tanzanians can benefit.
The health project in Ghana hires only volunteers who have health care certification, such as student ID of a medical student, EMT or paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials. If you are on the process of acquiring the certification, you will also be considered provided you furnish document to support your claim.
What you will do during health project in Tanzania will depend on your skill and experience. Among general things, you might do are assist in consulting room, dispensary and help with physiotherapy, treatment of minor injuries, maternal help and childcare, assisting midwives on visits, and checking and recording patient's information.
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.
