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 nutritional development of the preschool children who attend our Neighborhood Care Points (NCPs).
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.
Goal: assist the children in the NCP’s to monitor, evaluate and improve their health and nutrition.
