ORGANIZATION: Idealist.org

Recruiting Organization: Art in Tanzania

Summary

Art in Tanzania helps small community clinics in the villages and larger hospitals. Tanzania's healthcare is missing professional medical staff. You can assist in developing healthcare, but you also get great experience working in a developing country with limited medical facilities.

Details

Art in Tanzania community medical support team works in Dar es Salaam. In the Madale village medical support program, we can combine small village clinics with larger hospitals.

The public health program focuses on helping and educating the village communities about nutrition, sports and exercise, art therapy, sustainability, and other fields.

Tanzanian pharmacies are far from western standards. Specifically, small village pharmacies need training and advocacy to develop their prototypes.

The medical program also includes HIV/AIDS counselling advocacy, testing, and events for raising awareness.

The volunteering outcome is to learn to use your studies and experience to work in developing country conditions.

Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Your program can be from 2 weeks to 12 months. The placement starting dates are flexible.

Academic-level team leaders are daily supervising your volunteering placement. We monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to secure you proceed well with your tasks.

We can take volunteers in all year round as all programs are ongoing. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.

The typical morning tasks include practical fieldwork in the schools and communities, and afternoons are for planning, reporting, and social media visibility functions.
