Introduction Africa Health Changemakers Volunteers: #AfricaHealth1M2030, #Africa1M2030, #Health1M2030, #AHO1M2030 is our flagship programme to recruit 1,000,000 (1 million) 1M volunteers across the world to carry out volunteering in Africa in a country of their choice and fundraise for their chosen project using platforms such as Go Fund Me or personal contribution and build a legacy project for the community where they serve. We will be recruiting 200,000 volunteers annually until 2030 to transform the health and lives of African people. Every year, international development agencies, governments, UN agnecies, etc give billions to Africa in aid, however, nothing is happening on the ground. People are suffering. Poverty is getting worse; People are dying of diseases, hunger, poverty and wars. Where are all these billions of dollars going? Who is benefiting? Of course, Africa is losing. Giving money to charities, NGOs, UN agencies, etc., wastes time, money and resources. That's why AHO is starting this Changemaker volunteering programme to transform Africa. You will be responsible for your money. You will not give money to anyone. Instead, you will deliver a project by purchasing items that constitute what people need. If people want a hospital, you will not give them money to build it; you will buy items needed to construct a hospital, such as window frames, panes, scaffolding, medical equipment and sundries and supplies. You will help them mould bricks using local materials, such as sand and quarry. You will monitor your money as your project takes shape on the ground. Duties and Responsibilities First, choose a project topic. Africa Health Changemakers Volunteers will choose a global health project from a list below or their own choice. By health, we mean three (3) things: (1) communicable diseases such as TB, Malaria, Viral Hepatitis, Smallpox, Polio, Ebola, etc, (2) non-communicable diseases such as Cancer, Diabetes, Mental Health, Kidney Failure, Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), chronic Lung illness, etc, and (3) social determinants of health, such as behaviours that affect our health. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the nonmedical factors influencing health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the broader set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies, racism, climate change, and political systems. The following list provides examples of the social determinants of health which can influence health equity in positive and negative ways: Economics - Income and social protection Education and Literacy Unemployment and job insecurity Food insecurity Housing, basic amenities and the environment Early childhood development Social inclusion and non-discrimination Structural conflict Colonialism, Racism, Discrimination and Imperialism Access to affordable health services of decent quality. Water and Sanitation Politics and decision-making Climate Change and its impact Air Pollution and Water pollution Environment and conservation, biodiversity and plastic pollution Cultural Norms and Beliefs Behaviour such as smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, unsafe sex Biologicals such as age, gender, race Religion and Belief, such as witchcraft, religious fanaticism, cults, religious fundamentalists Zoonosis - Animal health (veterinary) such as anthrax and rabies Agriculture and food Poverty Energy Digital development Disaster risk management Mining and oil extraction Financial section and inclusion Gender equality, gender-based violence Infrastructure development Urban development Rural development Trade and macroeconomics Engineering and modelling Governance, corruption and Human Rights Among others, and so on, etc Second, project plan After you make your choice, develop the topic into a project that you would like to deliver in Africa with the guidance of AHO. We will discuss your project and develop a plan of action. Third, fundraising for your project Start fundraising for your project using different methods and ideas. Use GoFundMe or Facebook to appeal to people who want to contribute to your project. Africa Health Organisation (AHO) is on these websites; you can find us on the link. Here are some fundraising ideas: Abseil, Bake sale, Auction Bingo BBQ Book sale Coffee mornings or afternoon tea Golf day Quiz night Check the AHO website for fundraising ideas. Fourth, project delivery and visit You will work with AHO to deliver your project and take time to visit it, meet the people, and see the difference you have made on the ground. AHO will guide you throughout the whole process. Our African staff will liaise with you about your project choice, delivery, and visit. AHO will arrange your visa, transport, accommodation, and safaris in your chosen African country. You can combine this role with other AHO volunteering roles you are doing or will be doing.
