The everyday life of many South Africans is influenced by poverty, malnutrition, lack of the access to medical care and education, violence and drug or alcohol abuse. As a volunteer you will support the non-profit organization, that supports people from socially difficult backgrounds and aims to improve their living conditions and opportunities.
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 local kindergartens and primary schools in Arusha. Access to education and the associated educational opportunities for children in Tanzania depend very much on the income of their parents. Therefore, not all children get the same opportunities. In our projects, you support the teachers in their daily work.
