HIV Orphanage and Awareness Project - Uganda
We work with an AIDS orphanage near Masaka in Uganda. The parents
of the children at the orphanage have died from AIDS or AIDS related
illnesses and as a consequence, most of the children, if not all,
are HIV positive.
The children need to visit the hospital on a regular basis, firstly
for tests to see if they are HIV positive and then to check that
they are on the right combination of retro-viral drugs that will
extend their life expectancy.
It's a long journey to the hospital and drug regimes have to be
tried and tested, so they often have to make repeat visits. Your
job will be to accompany the children on their many visits to the
hospital which can be a frightening experience for the very small
ones.
In addition to the regular hospital visits, you will also spend
time working in the local community with school, youth and high
risk groups. Not only will you be helping to increase awareness
of how HIV is transmitted and therefore helping to reduce their
exposure to infection, you will also help to dispel some of the
myths surrounding the pandemic and helping to break down some of
the barriers that exist in the community against people who are
living with HIV and AIDS.
This project is ideal for someone already on our medical or orphanage
project in Uganda and can be easily combined.
