Each year, thousands of Ugandans succumb to HIV/AIDS and many innocent people contract the disease daily. The relentless march of HIV/AIDS has devastated many families and needs to be urgently stopped. There are many local organizations trying to do this and save the lives of Ugandans. RCDP has collaborated with these organizations and is now offering the volunteers the chance to contribute in the project and save lives.
Through your work, you will also give hope to the sick by counseling them to strive on and not let the disease kill them before it does.
No specific qualifications required. Volunteers should compassion towards people contracted with HIV/AIDS virus and shouldn’t hesitate to take care of them.
The work is community based. Everyday, volunteers will meet at the project office and take part in daily discussion to develop strategies and follow up on the current plans. As part of the awareness generating activities, volunteers need to travel to many villages spreading awareness, counseling, organizing seminars and even distributing supplies (like food and clothes).
RCDP will look after your entire needs during your project work. Volunteers joining the orphanage project will stay inside the compound of the orphanage and will be provided with a separate room. You will however share bathroom. You will be served 3 local meals a day. Usually, the in-charge of the orphanage will guide you through all the procedures and rules while you’re working there. The details of the room/food accommodations are clearly mentioned in the placement sheets. RCDP will also contact you in between (roughly after 2/3 weeks) to inquire if you are satisfied with the project.
