Home-Based Care (HBC) Project in Arusha, Tanzania
by: AMANI HOSTEL
Do you have a talent for arts and crafts? Are you knowledgeable about income generation activities? No matter your skills and expertise, you would be a big help to this project. We welcome both volunteers and interns. The HBC program provides care to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. It operates in 3 regions across Tanzania and currently supports an average of 730 patients. Trained HBC workers visit beneficiaries regularly to provide all types of support – relevant information (such as HIV/AIDS education and nutritional advice), finances, and cleaning. This care program has seen a significant improvement in the health of many patients. Our placements are based in Arusha and surrounding Maasai villages. Volunteers arrive on either the first or third Sunday of each month and stay for 2 weeks up to a year. We don’t ask for specific requirements and qualifications to join this program. But any skills in artwork, beading, and crafts are highly appreciated. It helps to learn some basic Kiswahili/Maasai language to communicate effectively with the locals. A volunteer coordinator assists you with this upon arrival.
