AIDS Volunteer Programs Abroad

If you are interested in taking part in something that brings together health, education, social disadvantage, and culture, then AIDS volunteer work abroad is perfect for you.

While it is likely there are many affected by this horrible disease in your own country, there are no fewer than nine countries where ten percent or more of adults are estimated to be HIV-positive! Therefore, help is drastically needed in multiple places around the world.

Volunteering abroad to combat the global HIV/AIDS epidemic will not only expose you to the heart-wrenching realities facing many people, it will also give you new insight on health care systems and numerous human rights issues. Treatment for HIV is not always accessible, especially in third world countries, such as Kenya and Tanzania, where the disease is more widespread; these parts of the world need as many advocates and volunteers as possible to assist with prevention of new HIV infections and to help those living with the disease to deal with both the psychological and physical effects of the disease.

Volunteering in Zanzibar was a truly transformative experience. Beyond contributing to educational and community projects, I had the chance to connect closely with the local culture, learn from the warmth of its people, and experience a simple and authentic way of life. Working with children and families allowed me to feel that, even in a small way, I could make a meaningful impact. Zanzibar offered not only breathtaking landscapes, but also deep human connections and a renewed perspective on solidarity and the power of small actions.

I volunteered with IVHQ for their Christmas program in Antigua, Guatemala. This was my first experience with IVHQ and I will definitely volunteer with them again. I stayed with a local family who were kind, thoughtful and made me feel right at home. The accommodations were modest but clean and comfortable. The Christmas program was a great experience because we had the opportunity to do a variety of activities including working with seniors and children, picking coffee beans, and a cultural immersion. I appreciate that IVHQ partners with local organizations on the ground.
