HIV and AIDS Volunteer Service Abroad in Tanzania

Jubileeventures.org offers international volunteer and internship abroad Hiv and Aids work opportunities throughout the year for students, professionals and tourist to the African country of Tanzania.

International volunteers and interns abroad with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) program in Tanzania will be attached to a local HIV and AIDS Voluntary Testing Center (VTC) located about 3km from the city of Tanzania. The HIV and AIDS center has been running since February 2004 and is operated by local Youth Groups.

The goal of this VCT is to support the government and global efforts in fighting HIV and AIDS spread and stigmatism, Drug Abuse and Environmental degradation by mobilizing youth (both affected and unaffected) in participating in Sports and Games. The center also provides health care education, voluntary counseling and testing; home-based care for HIV and AIDS affected persons.

Overseas interns and volunteers abroad with the Tanzania AIDS project will accompany the currently local staff in their daily routine activities. They will participate in offering free medical care to patients of HIV and AIDS and the affected families as well as providing home-based care and treatment for the patients.

International volunteers and interns abroad with the Tanzania AIDS and HIV project will also be involved in teaching about sexuality and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) to youths and their parents as well as answering Frequently Asked Questions about HIV and other STDs. Tanzania HIV volunteers and interns will also assist teaching English as a second language to local Tanzania staff.
