AA community development and wildlife research organization was founded in 2004. Combining internships/volunteer work in social development, conservation and education with adventure tours. The Kingdom of Swaziland has the world’s highest HIV/ AIDS prevalence rates, with approximately 31% of the population being infected. In 2010 it was estimated that there was close to 200 000 orphaned children in the Kingdom due to HIV/AIDS. You have the valuable opportunity to assist, motivate and encourage the educational development of the preschool children who attend our Neighborhood Care Points. Also available in South Africa.
Project closed in November & December! Maximum 12 weeks (longer in combination with other country).
Lots of children are now without a parent and live with extended family that already has stretched resources. Unemployment is high, approximately 39% of Swazi’s are without a job, which rises considerably to 53% among youth. About 66% of the population is unable to meet basic food needs, while 43% live in chronic poverty. Children are particularly vulnerable and often are in desperate need of help and support. Work in collaboration with our 6 Neighbourhood Care Points (NCP’s), which operate in rural areas of Swaziland/South Africa and cater to vulnerable and orphaned children. These NCP’s were set up by the AA Foundation, in an effort to keep children stay in school longer, do better in school and hopefully influence their lives as adults.
Goal: This internship would assist the NCP and Sponsorship Coordinator to implement, monitor and evaluate the Schedule of Works for the 6 supports NCP’s.
