About this organization
YAAPHA needs volunteers to help us in our daily activities in the
various projects regarding HIV/AIDS. A HIV/AIDS awareness volunteer at
this placement would be required to help out with raising awareness
about the causes, effects and prevention of HIV/AIDS and the
transmission and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Volunteers would assist with the education, as well as the care of
youth who are affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic through, “Home Based
Care” and conducting public youth group educational sessions. A HIV/AIDS
awareness volunteer would be expected to provide support, (for the most
vulnerable children (MVC) who have been affected by the HIV/AIDS
pandemic) through the organization’s foster parent programs, sponsorship
for schools, counselling, tutoring and assisting to obtain monetary
funds for basic needs.
Volunteers may be asked to assist in the organization’s endeavor to
educate citizens on important issues such as human rights and gender
based violence. YAAPHA also offers legal counselling for people
experiencing human rights violations.
A HIV/AIDS awareness volunteer does not need to have had previous
experience related to this illness but they must have good communication
skills and a sincere desire to help in the fight against AIDS.
Volunteers should have previously researched and educated themselves in
respect to the different aspects of the illness so that they can make a
meaningful contribution during their volunteering commitment, at this
placement. Volunteers must be mature individuals who have the emotional
fortitude to be able to work in sometimes stressful situations and
project a positive attitude.
