Africa Volunteer with HIV/AIDS Awareness and Care

The structure of programs vary but in most cases, overseas HIV and AIDS volunteers in Africa are first exposed to the main issues surrounding  HIV and AIDS mainly in the first week. In subsequent weeks, international volunteers in East Africa accompany local staff in their routine activities. Those doing volunteer work abroad with the HIV program will participate in offering free medical clinics for patients, families and people wanting to test for HIV and AIDS.

Overseas volunteers and international interns also participate in home visits with the patients and families to provide treatment, food, and care and sometimes to help with home chores.

International volunteers will also be involved in teaching about Sexually Transmitted Diseases including HIV and AIDS, and teaching about sexuality, to youths and parents. Overseas interns and volunteers abroad with the HIV and AIDS program in East Africa should also be prepared to visit with and provide support to children; orphans of HIV and AIDS,

Overseas volunteers and interns abroad with the AIDS program should come prepared to learn and participate in community education; visit with HIV affected and infected members of the community; assist the affected community members with their domestic chores.

International volunteers and overseas interns will be expected to work for between 3 to 8 hours a day.
