Lutindi Mental Hospital is a private mental health facility in the scenic Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. Most patients are from the big cities and are addicted to alcohol or illegal drugs, or have schizophrenia or psychosis. Much emphasis is placed on occupational therapy in a rural setting that differs as much as possible from the big city.
With us, you have the opportunity to support a project for children and young adults with various impairments. Unfortunately, these people still face many challenges in Tanzanian society: stigmatization and prejudices are omnipresent and government support is insufficient. A large number of disabled children and young adults are not adequately cared for. We want to change that!
Remote internships are a fantastic opportunity if you can't easily travel internationally, but you still want to work with a foreign organization! With this remote internship you will not only support Tanzanian teachers in planning and designing their lessons, but gain exciting intercultural teaching and learning experiences at the same time.
Our community program aims to engage local communities, empowering children as environmental role models via Outreach Campaigns and the Eco Club. The Eco Club, led by children, initiates projects like clean-ups and tree planting, enhancing community aesthetics while instilling pride and responsibility.
